Intercepting events system wide is generally not possible for something 
which is run as a program process. Rev is doing this presumably by 
trapping the keyboard command before it get's through to the system. 
However, if it is not the current frontmost application, it never gets 
the keystrokes to trap.

I believe it was Dar, who earlier in this list discussed making Rev apps 
a "service" on Windows. Implementation at this level may give you what 
you are looking for - I haven't done it, so I'm not sure.
