add code for event listener for keypress in ckeditor

Question

I need to add an event listener for keypress after the CKEditor is loaded. The code is something like:

CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.document.on(\'key\', fu

If the keydown logic makes sense for a given plugin, you can include it in the plugin's definition:

CKEDITOR.plugins.add('customPlugin', {
    // definition keys...
    init: function( editor ) {
        // Plugin logic
        ...

    // Register a  keydown event handler -- http://docs.ckeditor.com/#!/api/CKEDITOR.editor-event-key
    editor.on('key', function(event) {
        console.log('CKEDITOR keydown event from customPlugin'); // successfully captures keydown when registered from plugin
    }
});
