Extend browsers to handle Apple keyboard events

Question

Is there any way to extend browsers (e.g., Google Chrome) to handle input events from non-standard keyboards? Consider an Apple keyboard, there are special keys like Play/Pause (usually on F8). Can we capture inputs from those keys?

These keys do not fire events in browsers, but there is an extension for Chrome which seems to add this functionality: http://smus.com/chrome-media-keys/
