 Normally I think this is done using a combo box so that one line at a time
is edited and the list is select-only (list behavior)

If you do try to capture key strokes, you need to decide how would you stop
multi-line user select, then a single delete... or
multi-line user select, then pressing another key to replace 3 lines with
one character.

Then there is cut, copy, paste...
