Just for more clearity on how it will goes in directive Within link function just use this make sure attach it to write element as in example it is attached to document

                //attach event to document which is big thing
                //make sure we remove it once we done with this
                $document.on('keydown', handler);

                //We need to remove this event as it should be only applicable when user is withing 
                //the scope of directive parent
                scope.$on("$destroy", function () {
                    $document.off('keydown', handler);
                });
                //function gets executed when we hit the key specified from form
                function handler (event) {
                }
