Details

I'm on two screens.  Sometimes it happens to me that I forget to switch to a terminal window correctly and TB window is still active.  When I start typing a command, while I wrongly believe I'm in the terminal window, those keystrokes goes to TB and that moves around with emails!

This is so annoying and dangerous.  I never know what has happened and usually Undo is disabled to revert anything back.

There should be an option to disable hotkeys w/o modifiers or a switch to arm them with modifiers, where possible.
This would be possible if bug 57805 were implemented

I think this can be considered a dupe of either bug 615957 or bug 57805.
