Description

Bug description:

Not sure if it is a feature request or a bug. Consumers aren't able to bind their own functionality to already existing keydown events that are handled by the ngbDatepickerKeyboardService in ngbDatePicker. In the example it can be seen that listening for keyDown event will only work for keys that are not stopped by ngbDatepickerKeyboardService.

Are there any particular reasons why it is done so?

Link to minimally-working StackBlitz that reproduces the issue:

https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-13pnbx?file=src%2Fapp%2Fdatepicker-basic.ts

Versions of Angular, ng-bootstrap:

Angular: 14.1.2

ng-bootstrap: 13.0.0

Research direction

Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and trace how NgbDatepickerKeyboardService handles keydown events for Enter and Space. Compare those events with keys that continue bubbling, then clarify the intended consumer behavior; done means the expected bubbling behavior is established and verified against the reproduction.
