I have a regular onkeydown event handler that fires a function, like this:

window.onkeydown = onKeyDown;

It essentially works, but it only captures 1 key in Firefox. Then I have to release it and press again.

Google chrome offers me a continuous grab, so I wonder if this is by choice.

    Have you tried the keypress event? The keypress event is fired after keydown if the key is held down.
