I often use AE text boxes and catch the FKey value when they type past the end of a field.

It'd be really nifty if BR! had another attribute like A or E that returned an FKey value no matter what they typed, any keypress that occurs in said textbox. left arrow, right arrow, backspace, etc.

Taken from 4.2 release notes-

"A new leading attribute "^user_entry", returns control to the program upon the cursor entering a field. This does not apply to fields given initial focus by INPUT processing, such as with CURFLD or the first field of a FIELDS operation."

this is similar to what I wished for but not close enough to be of value.
