CommandKeyDown handler question

Hi all,
As an old HyperCarder, I thought I'd like to set up commandKey
equivalents in Rev for "go next card" and "go previous card" (cmd-3 and
cmd-2 respectively). After a couple false starts (e.g. using a keyDown
handler with a "if the commandKey is down" inside), I hit on the
following:
on commandkeyDown theKey
switch theKey
case "3"
go next
break
case "2"
go prev
break
default
pass commandkeyDown
end switch
end commandkeyDown
Now, the problem is, this doesn't work! It does cause the Edit menu to
do a mysterious brief hilite, but no card movement occurs. However,
when I change the handler about to a "controlKeyDown", everything is
peachy.
So what's going on? Is there some strange undocumented frontscripts
behavior built into Rev that is intercepting my commandKeyDown handler?
Or what?
