I'm sure it's in there - and I'm even sure Paul tried to look ..... 
don't assume it's as easy as it might seem with the benefit of 
knowledge/hindsight/intuition that makes you pick the right phrase.

Here's what I did ....

... launching Rev,. click Documentation...
... flip option to Search ...., enter "keypress"

wait for approx 2 minutes while it spins that stupid little cursor ....
get about 10 entries .... none of which is keyDown or keyUp

(though the 7th entry would (if I hadn't given up by then) have referred 
me to keyDown in the "See also ..." list.)
