As of Arma 3 v1.06 ctrlAddEventHandler and displayAddEventHandler support script Code in addition to String [1]

From within an Addon, you must assign the events from a spawned script. eg[] spawn { (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler["KeyDown","_this call my_KeyDownFunctionhandler"]; };

Be sure to wait until the main display is initialized before using this command by using: waituntil {!isnull (finddisplay 46)};

use #define if you want the displayEventHandler to use data that is defined in the same file in which the command is executed. However, that does not work if you use STRING as 'code'. In case of STRING, use the format command around it.

Using KeyUp you can't override default engine action by returning true (A3 1.72.142342)
