[vtkusers] key press event in vtkWeb

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Below is an example, but Google should be able to help you also on the JS
side...
https://github.com/Kitware/vtk-js/blob/master/Sources/Rendering/Core/RenderWindowInteractor/index.js#L214-L222

Then for the RPC part you can find some inspiration there even if it is on
ParaView

Just FYI, if that make sense for what you are trying to do, we have support
contract that could speed up the process on your end.

HTH,

Seb
