Some gmail keyboard shortcuts do not work properly when find as you type is enabled. 

The keyboard shortcuts with single key work properly like 'c' to compose a new email. But when I use keyboard shortcuts with multiple keys like 'gi' to go to Inbox, this triggers the quick find and the shortcut doesn't work. This used to work in some old version of Firefox 3 when find as you type was not built but possible through add on. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to Gmail
2. Try multiple keyboard shortcut like 'gi' or 'gl'
3. Quick find opens.
Actual Results:  
Quick find opened for text search of the page.

Expected Results:  
Gmail must return to Inbox page or the page must reload if already on Inbox.
