Answer 1

bind the event to the document instead:

$(document).bind('keyup', function(e) {
    alert('testing');
});

You can make almost any node receive keyboard events. In "modern" browsers, you can setup a tabIndex. After that the event is focusable.

$(document.body).attr('tabIndex', 1).bind('keyup', function(e) {
    alert('testing');
});
