text input

i'm trying to write a tool for text visualization and i'm hoping to use keyboard input (i.e. typing) as the primary means of input. i've done a simple 2d prototype using a java applet/canvas and text events. I was hoping to make a better version with proce55ing but have only found the key,keyPressed and keyReleased code for getting text input. When i use these in a loop like so
if(keyPressed){
story = story + char(key);
}
the applet seems to skip a lot of characters (i think when i type the key isn't pressed long enough to register inbetween redraws, but i'm just guessing).
Is there a better way to do this, or is there an easy way to integrate the java applet proce55ing generates into a canvas so i can use a real text field (with cut-and-paste capabilities) for input?
