I'll try out the focus suggestion earlier. The context of this is that I'm running Firebug. I have messages being logged to firebug's console. I wired in in what I thought would be a global hotkey to toggle the logging, but as some have mentioned this hotkey's operation seems contingent on being focused on the page which sort of defeats the purpose. I would think that key event listeners could be hooked into the window object(or some other top of the tree thingy) for such as this.
