I have been pouring through the TLF API docs looking for events to handle key presses on a TextFlow and I am not finding anything. I'm sure it's simple, can anyone give me a clue? I'm looking to detect Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I, etc.. to trigger formatting.

The events go to the DisplayObjectContainerController. You will want to override the processKey event functions to add special handling. Those are in the protected methods section and are inherited from a base class.
