Comment #1 on issue 7079 by [email protected]: Cannot use Page Up & Page
Down while using the "search in page" feature
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7079
Yeah, this is known <b/890421> and something we wanted to do but hasn't
gotten enough
attention yet.
We did have an internal discussion about this at one point. The important
bits are:
Peter Kasting:
To my surprise Firefox and Safari do exactly what Scott [who originally
suggested
this] is requesting here. (IE [7] doesn't, but it has a modal Find dialog,
so I
wouldn't expect it to).
I'm not sure what set of keys, exactly, need to get forwarded to the page.
We can't
just forward everything and then only handle what the page didn't care
about, since
pages can eat arbitrary keys via JS.
Finnur:
I think this is going to be more involved than just forwarding selected
keyboard
events to the page.
Say, for example, that a text field on the page has focus and you now set
focus to
the Find box. In this case, sending PageUp and PageDown to the page works
fine (page
scrolls), but ArrowUp and ArrowDown, on the other hand, will not cause the
page to
scroll up/down one line (it will instead cause the caret in the text field
to be
modified).
We also need to make sure this works with pages with multiple frames - I
presume the
active frame should be scrolled in that case.
