Description

@petele

Context: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=119881 "API to request key events normally reserved for browser shortcuts"

Regardless of the desire of developers expressed in the bug:

  • In tabs, some keys are reserved by the browser (e.g. Ctrl+N, Ctrl+W, etc)
  • When Fullscreen, Keyboard Lock allows most keys to be intercepted
  • When running standalone (in a window), more (all?) keys are available for web content to intercept

There was brief discussion with several folks on Fugu chat; it seemed to be the consensus that we have the desired behavior and capabilities now, it's just poorly documented from a developer perspective. Since this behavior falls between various specs (E.g. UI Events) it's not even clear where to look for normative definitions.
