For capture onkeydown event in Samsung browser you need to set focus to the some object which have this handler, for example to body:

window.onload = function()
{
      document.body.focus();
}
window.onkeydown = function(event)
{
      alert(event.keyCode);
}

Important to know - Samsung intercepts alert() and not shows it in popup, so, you will not see them. Instead of this, you can write your own handler:

function alert(s)
{
       document.getElementById('alert-block').innerHTML = s;
}
