Thanks for your inputs guys!
I've worked on some of the wonky behaviors you reported, here's the latest keyboard code, let me know if it works better or introduces new problems:
<script>
// the semi-colon before function invocation is a safety net against concatenated
// scripts and/or other plugins which may not be closed properly.
; (function ($, window, document, undefined) {
// undefined is used here as the undefined global variable in ECMAScript 3 is
// mutable (ie. it can be changed by someone else). undefined isn't really being
// passed in so we can ensure the value of it is truly undefined. In ES5, undefined
// can no longer be modified.
// window and document are passed through as local variable rather than global
// as this (slightly) quickens the resolution process and can be more efficiently
// minified (especially when both are regularly referenced in your plugin).
// Create the defaults once
