Description
Feture request
There are scenarios when the developer wants to complement or override key events handled by tabster (such as Right arrow key press) using a custom code that is executed only under some circumstances, such as when the keyboard focus is on some specific element. This need can be resolved by introducing the possibility to register a custom callback for the key events which are handled by tabster. Then, running event.preventDefault() in such callback can block the execution of the default tabster handler.

Research direction
Start by tracing how Tabster handles key events such as the Right arrow and identify the public surface where a custom callback could be registered. Define how callbacks receive the event and how preventDefault() affects the default handler, then add coverage for conditional handling and blocked default behavior.
