I'm assuming by full screen mode and keyboard lock, you're referring to
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/capabilities/web-apis/keyboard-lock.

For what it's worth, I just tested Chrome on Windows 10 and got their demo
to capture Alt+Tab successfully, so that seems good! Even Windows key
shortcuts like Win+D appeared to have been captured.
