Specifically, I would like to have a popup be displayed when the user
enters a keyboard shortcut.
I am thinking to use the following:
content_script -> catch custom event -> postMessage
to notify Chrome, and have the popup window be displayed.
Alternatively, if the manifest.json file was able to be specified as
below:
"browser_action": {
"popup": "background/popup.html",
"keyboard": "Shift + Ctrl + :"
},
I believe that popups could de displayed more safely.
There are probably many users who would like to use the keyboard to
perform a browser action.
