It's a combination of two things. One, Chrome lets the page have precedence for keystrokes. This is why Ctl-B normally shows the bookmarks bar but it will bold text if you're using an app like Google Docs. So keystrokes are sent to the page first, and if the page doesn't use them only then do we do the browser function. The other side to this is that from the browser's perspective, a plugin is a black box that is fed keystrokes. We can't know that, for example, pressing the down arrow actually is used by the Flash game you're playing and should not scroll the page. So as soon as a plugin has focus it's as if the page handles *every* keystroke and the browser never gets another one. I definitely agree it is very annoying. I in fact argued against behavior #1 within the team and lost. :) For what it's worth, you might find reading http://standards.freedesktop.org/xembed-spec/xembed-spec-latest.html#id2448113 , the spec that affects how Flash is typically embedded, interesting. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
