To my knowledge you won't be able to catch keypresses. You'll have to implement your own list UI using Canvas.

is there any way to have a canvas offscreen/invisible that catches keypresses? i want it to look like a regular list.

The Canvas has to be the current displayable managed by Display in order for it to receive keypress events.So unfortunately, the answer to your question is no.
