Passing keycode with keydown and keyup events in Watir & FireWatir

I need to automate interaction with a custom jQuery rich text editor in our web client. Having talked with our developers I would only need to be able to fire the following events; keydown, keyup, mousedown, mouseup and paste.

So really need a way of being able to pass a key code with the fire_event keydown and keyup calls for WATIR and FIREWATIR?

Has anyone had any success in doing this?
