How to track keydown event on browser?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a tool or app that lets one capture keydown/keypress events in a browser across a page that isn't mine? I don't necessarily need to know what key was pressed.

I can't use jQuery because I can't run a cross-domain keydown/keypress request either.

I've considered using keylogger tools but they generally don't have a live update mechanism where I can retrieve the keys pressed in a stored file (many solutions I've come across only generate the file when requested, which makes sense).

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

You'll want to use a usability testing software, I assume they record and do stats on things such as mouse, key presses, etc.

I've never used software like this, but here are some pointers:
