This is not possible because Backbone uses the events hash to subscribe to events on the view’s element (view.el property) and the element’s descendants. It does not subscribe to events from elements outside the view’s element.
So if your view’s element is table, then the doSomething() function will be called when the keydown event is fired on the table, but it will not be called if the keydown event is fired on another element on the page.
