Hi all, I am struggling with properly capturing keyboard strokes with compose for desktop. I followed the instructions <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/tutorials/Keyboard|here> and <https://medium.com/google-developer-experts/focus-in-jetpack-compose-6584252257fe|here>. Then <https://github.com/recursivelftr/Grim-Locations/blob/d675a9a5859e320e833e8aa0fcb85d7ed61c0f99/src/main/kotlin/io/grimlocations/ui/view/component/LocationListComponent.kt#L117|this> is my code. I have tried many different approaches but nothing I do seems to register the keystrokes. If someone with some expertise on it could take a look I'd be grateful.

After quite a bit of trial and error I'm convinced that desktop compose only supports capturing keystrokes on the `Window` and `Dialog` composables for the experimental window API.

Correct me if that's not right, but I couldn't find anyway to get the focus API or key capture API to work on any other elements.
