Status note Josh is working on bug 637253 in preparation for the real fix. I believe 637253 is resolved fixed. Can we move into the larger fix here now? I'm also very very interested in whether or not there are any short-term hacks we can deploy to alleviate this problem sooner rather than later.

Open issues/risks

  • I'd like to make sure that if the developer of the plugin content hasn't explicitly said that they'll override Ctrl/Cmd-qualified shortcuts, they'll be passed through by default.

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

When a plugin is focused (typically Flash), it will steal keyboard shortcuts, so you can't do thing like open a new tab or close the tab without unfocusing the plugin container. We should give plugins the ability to pass through shortcuts to the browser.

This feature falls primarily in the Experience category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
