The main display (46) doesn't exist until a few moments after the mission has started. This has been the case in ARMA 2 as well.

Prior to attempting to assign a display event handler you have to make sure the display actually exists using an isNull check:

<i>
waitUntil{!isNull(findDisplay 46)};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["keyDown", "hint str _this; false"];
</i>

This makes your mission work as expected on my end.

Ok, it works for me too. My mistake - can be closed.

Closing.
