Is there something I am missing, I have a custom field and just want any keys given to it

when it has focus. I handle the navigation fine using the Nav methods of course.

    protected  boolean     keyUp(int keycode, int time) {
System.out.println("key code "+keycode);
        mykeyPressed(keycode);
        return true;
    }

I use keyChar to do this sort of thing.  However I think keys are delivered to the Screen before being delivered to the individual field - you can test that by coding a keyChar in you MainScreen and a keyChar in your Field, and see which gets control first.

Thanks this worked in the custom Field class I have

protected boolean keyChar(char character,
                          int status,
                          int time){
        keyPressed(character);
        return true;
    }
