Thanks for this Johnny. I'm seeing some strange input related issues with
it however:

1. It doesn't detect anything typed on the keypad when NumLock is enabled.
2. It's not detecting the return key ie. entering text in a search field
and hitting return results in nothing whereas before it would invoke the
search.

I'd be happy to provide more information if required.

Thanks,
Cian
