custom hotkey help

I'm trying to make it so when alt+a is pushed it activates the search contact field. I haven't written js in a couple years, and am really rusty. Any help appreciated.

This is what I've written, it works in jsFiddle, but not in CRM.

document.onkeyup = function(e) {
var e = e || window.event; 
if (e.altKey && e.which == 65) {
alert ('keyboard shortcut working!');
return false;
}
}

This test code works for an alert in CRM:

function AlertPrimaryValue() {

var primaryValue = Xrm.Page.data.entity.getPrimaryAttributeValue();

alert(primaryValue);

}

    Hello,

    It's unsupported but try following:

    parent.document.onkeyup = function(e) {

    var e = e || window.event;

    if (e.altKey && e.which == 65) {

    alert ('keyboard shortcut working!');

    return false;

    }

    }
