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.

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? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
