onKeyEvent examples in ui

Adding this modifier to the modifier parameter of a component will allow it to intercept hardware key events when it (or one of its children) is focused.

KeyEventSample

@Suppress("UNUSED_ANONYMOUS_PARAMETER")
@Sampled
@Composable
fun KeyEventSample() {
    // When the inner Box is focused, and the user presses a key, the key goes down the hierarchy
    // and then back up to the parent. At any stage you can stop the propagation by returning
    // true to indicate that you consumed the event.
    Box(Modifier.onPreviewKeyEvent { keyEvent1 -> false }.onKeyEvent { keyEvent4 -> false }) {
        Box(
            Modifier.onPreviewKeyEvent { keyEvent2 -> false }
                .onKeyEvent { keyEvent3 -> false }
                .focusable()
        )
    }
}
