codemirror onKeyEvent not firing

Question

I am trying to get codemirrors show hint functionality to work I have managed to get it to work with extraKeys this loads the getHints function fine but I really want it to work with onKeyEvent but this doesn't seem to do anything I can't even get it to send an alert message

function getHints(cm) {
// find the words
}

$(document).ready(function(){
CodeMirror.registerHelper("hint", "logger", getHints);
CodeMirror.commands.autocomplete = function(cm) {
    cm.showHint({hint: CodeMirror.hint.logger});
  }
var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(
    $("#log").get(0),
    {
        extraKeys: {"Ctrl": "autocomplete"},
        onKeyEvent: function(e, s) {
                var kc = s.keyCode;
                if (s.type == "keyup") {
                    if (kc != 38 && kc != 40 && kc != 13 && kc != 27 && kc != 32) {
                        alert(kc);
                        CodeMirror.commands.autocomplete(e);
                    }
                }
            }
    });
});

Heres what I was playing with I have no idea what I am doing wrong even trying to use jquerys trigger doesnt seem to do anything :/ http://jsfiddle.net/f2n74k3s/7/

onKeyEvent does not exist in CodeMirror's API. Hence, it is guaranteed not to work. Use extraKeys, it is built for this kind of task.

That's the manual for version 2, which is over two years old. – Marijn Mar 27 '15 at 13:52
