Is it possible to bind a key listener to UI5's sap.m.Dialog?

There is nothing in the events list which says you can but is there any other way to add an event listener to respond to key presses when the dialog is open? https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.Dialog/events/Summary

Hello

You can use the windows listener like below.

window.onkeyup = function(event) {
console.log("kep pressed is"+event.keyCode);
}

But if you bind the listener to the window then how will you know that you are on that particular dialog?

You can check if the dialog window is opened inside using id and decide accordingly.
