950255 - Make native key bindings work with e10s

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 977904

(Core :: Widget, defect)

Description

[David Anderson [:dvander] - inactive, e-mail if emergency]

bug 282097 introduced native key binding handling that doesn't work on e10s, since the widget events can't be sent over IPC (see bug 906237). We'll have to address this somehow eventually. Masayuki mentioned two possibilities:

(1) Ask for key bindings remotely from the child process - the parent would keep the widget event around. Probably the simplest solution.

(2) Send enough data such that the child process can reconstruct the event, though this seems tricky on Cocoa.

Another idea is to always compute the bindings in the parent process, then forward them to the child, but this could be tricky as it's context sensitive.
