## TextFields
TextFields in Compose for Desktop consume special events of type `java.awt.event.KeyEvent.KEY_TYPED`. If you want to avoid consuming Events that have already been consumed by a TextField, you have to check for this special eventType, as TextFields will not consume `KeyEventType.KeyDown` or `KeyEventType.KeyUp` events on Desktop.
You can do this using a condition like `keyEvent.isTypedEvent && keyEvent.awtEventOrNull?.keyChar == 'a'` where `isTypedEvent` uses the `actual val KeyEvent.isTypedEvent: Boolean` in `TextFieldKeyInput.desktop.kt`.
