Hi, I tried to attach this patch to bug 78414, but it wasn't possible as posting new comments is not allowed.
This proposal is a sensible workaround (as a "complete" solution would require the collaboration of every single plugin developer, which doesn't seem feasible) for Windows. Is my understanding that OSX is not affected, and a solution already exists for GNU/Linux, please correct me if I'm wrong. I've implemented two different strategies, one for plugins running in its own window, and the other for the winless ones. The first one installs a keyboard hook, which looks for well known keystrokes, and passes the focus to the main window when one is found. The second passes all key events to both the plugin and the DOM, except for the ones which generates movement events (arrow keys, space, pageup/pagedown...). This patch is intended as a Proof-of-Concept, it needs betters comments, an approved list of keystrokes to watch, and (probably) the ability to be enabled/disabled via "about:config". But I wanted to obtain early feedback from the devs prior to investing more work on it. Thanks, Sergio. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
