Keypress Listener

Please explain your use case in more detail. What keystrokes? single ones? or actual, "real" input? in any context? etc.

Hi Thanks for response. 

I want to track if any key was pressed each time a key is pressed. So say if a programmer within his project types "aaaa" I want four events each stating (at least) that a key was pressed (and preferably ) which key was pressed. I hope this clarifies

Thank you 

Do you by any chance also know how I can add functionality to the execute method without overwriting the already existing functionality. My problem is that when I can't get hold of the default 'typedActionHandler' to use it's execute method after I did what i wanted to do with the 'typedActionHandler'.

To clarify the scenario is: 
1) the programmer presses any key
2) my custom typedActionHandler gets active and calls one of my services to do stuff
3) the custom typedActionHandler calls the default typedActionHandler to proceed with the key press of the programmer 

How do i get the default typedActionHandler?

Found a working solution: 

in plugin.xml: 

<extensions defaultExtensionNs="com.intellij">
    <typedHandler implementation="Package.MyKeyHandler"/>
</extensions>

in class file: 

public class MyKeyHandler extends TypedHandlerDelegate {

    @Override
    public Result charTyped(char c, Project project, Editor editor, PsiFile file) {
        //Do stuff you wanna do here 
        return Result.CONTINUE;
    }
}
