I've been using JQuery hotkeys to make an internal tool for a team of developers. It'd be nice for them to be able to navigate through the entire page using only the keyboard, but I've been having problems when they end up in input fields. Is there a way to bind a hotkey and make it work even inside an input element?

I got my jQuery-hotkeys from here.
