Details

For some shortcuts it would be great if shortcuts were also triggered when the content page is focused.
For instance the debugger F8 (break on next instruction), if you are trying to use it while doing steps in the content page it will not do anything.

Same goes for the in progress eyedropper shortcut Bug 1177108.

Chrome has a slightly weird behavior, where pressing F8 once while the focus is on the page first focuses the Debugger. So doing F8 x2 triggers the pause on their side
