Yes, people have prototyped javascript key loggers.

The whole presentation is pretty good, but the specific example
relevant to your question starts around page 28.  I don't know of any
attacks like this seen in the wild so far.  The presentation suggests
that once two-factor auth becomes common this is where attackers will
go next.  That makes sense to me.
