Hide toolbars for app tabs by default Not started yet N/A Alex Limi

Summary

When a plugin is focused (typically Flash), it will steal keyboard shortcuts, so you can't do thing like open a new tab or close the tab without unfocusing the plugin container. We should give plugins the ability to pass through shortcuts to the browser.

  • UX: Alex Limi

Release Requirements

  • Being able to play a Flash video and open/close a tabs with keyboard shortcuts on all platforms.


Next Steps

  • Patch review
  • QA

Open Issues

  • I'd like to make sure that if the developer of the plugin content hasn't explicitly said that they'll override Ctrl/Cmd-qualified shortcuts, they'll be passed through by default.
