Comment #13 on issue 3326 by krtulmay: When the focus is on a plugin  
(Flash, for instance) keyboard shortcuts are not triggered
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3326

I agree that it would be nice to be able to accomplish, but the problem is  
a fundamental conundrum that Firefox and IE
also have not resolved.

Because in fact, yes, the entire keyboard input must be given to the  
plugin, and yes it is allowing the plugin to
override functions, of the keystrokes anyway.  No browser has any idea what  
the plugin will do with the input if the
plugin has focus; the plugin is viewed as a black box.  See also:

You can certainly say there are "fundamental shortcuts", but making the  
browser process them first is an arbitrary
decision.  Is there a standard that can be referenced for which  
are "fundamental shortcuts"?  Are browsers going to
arbitrarily decide some "fundamental keystrokes" cannot be used by plugins?
