KeyNav.js

/**
 * @class Ext.KeyNav
 * <p>Provides a convenient wrapper for normalized keyboard navigation.  KeyNav allows you to bind
 * navigation keys to function calls that will get called when the keys are pressed, providing an easy
 * way to implement custom navigation schemes for any UI component.</p>
 * <p>The following are all of the possible keys that can be implemented: enter, left, right, up, down, tab, esc,
 * pageUp, pageDown, del, home, end.  Usage:</p>
 <pre><code>
var nav = new Ext.KeyNav("my-element", {

        this.moveLeft(e.ctrlKey);
    },
    "right" : function(e){
        this.moveRight(e.ctrlKey);
    },
    "enter" : function(e){
        this.save();
    },
    scope : this
});
</code></pre>
 * @constructor
 * @param {String/HTMLElement/Ext.Element} el The element to bind to
