(Whiteboard: [games:p?] )

Ability to sample all keys, keystroke combinations, and key+mouse combinations. This includes system hot keys (e.g. ctrl+[1,2,3] on OS X switches desktops). It's probably ok to exclude things like alt-tab / cmd-tab / alt-F4 / cmd+Q so that the user doesn't get totally trapped, but we would prefer to have a way to intercept those and chose whether to handle them ourselves or not.

"sample"? Anyhow, it is an open question whether browser should handle keys first, or should a web app be able to use all the key combinations.
This is a duplicate of some old bug, I guess.
