Description

Ember's textarea allows a key-down (or key-press) action to be passed to it like so:

{{textarea value=petDescription key-down="petDescriptionKeyed"}}

Could this be added to {{md-textarea}}?

This may also apply to a standard input field but haven't had to use it yet.

Again happy to do a PR but with this one I'm unsure how best to implement it having had a play around and failed.

Research direction
Examine the Ember source code for how key down and key press actions are implemented on textarea. Look at the existing md textarea component in the ember cli materialize addon (likely in app/components/md textarea.js) to understand the current structure. Check if there are similar action implementations in other components (e.g., md input) for reference. The issue requester mentioned trying to implement but failing, so reviewing Ember's event handling patterns and materialize's existing code is essential.
