I have the feeling that we need our events to trigger on stuff more 
specific than just the node.

Jeroen needed to setup some global state like (shift pressed).

I wonder if we could not have stuff like this:

input:keypress {
evt-keypress-keycodes : 27;
global-state-inlineform: active;
action-server : cancelForm;
}

This event would trigger only if the right global state is set. This 
feels like generic functions.

This mail is meant to start brainstorming.
