New issue 5496 by [email protected]: Tab and window management commands should not round-trip through the renderer http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=5496 Keyboard messages are sent to the current renderer for processing. This allows the web page to override most keystrokes. If they are unhandled, they are echoed back to the browser process. This is good because web pages want to see the keystrokes. They can also override interesting commands such as Ctrl-P for print (they may want to provide their own print preview). However, tab and window management commands aren't well suited for this. Even if the web page doesn't override the commands (which is very rare and possibly harmful or annoying to the user), the responsiveness of the browser to these messages depends on the responsiveness of the current renderer. For example, if the current renderer is hung, Ctrl-W won't close the tab. You have to use the mouse. If you have a slow or hung renderer and you use Ctrl-PageDown to cycle through the tabs, it will stop on the hung one and not continue. I propose the following "non-maskable" commands which would be handled in the browser and never sent to the web page for processing. Ctrl-PageUp Ctrl-PageDown Ctrl-W Ctrl-F4 Alt-F4 (this one probably already is) Ctrl-T Ctrl-N Ctrl-Shift-N Shift-Esc (task manager) -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
