Plugins in Chimera don't seem to get autokey events. Most noticeable is this in
the PDF Browser Plugin <http://www.schubert-it.com/plugin/> where pressing and
holding the down arrow key for example scrolls the pdf downwards. In Chimera
this only scrolls one line (the key down event) while in all other browsers this
scrolls as long as the key is pressed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download and install the PDF Browser Plugin
2. Open a PDF in the browser and click into it to set the keyboard focus to the
plugin
3. Press and hold the down arrow key

Actual Results:  
The PDF scrolls down one line.

Expected Results:  
The PDF should scroll as long as the key is pressed.

nsPluginViewer.cpp will need these changes too cuz PDFs are full-page plugins.
