Comment #5 on issue 21624 by su...@chromium.org: accesskey attributes
conflict with browser shortcuts (like tab-switching)
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21624
Please note that accesskey is triggered by Char event rather than
RawKeyDown event.
In our keyboard event handling flow, A RawKeyDown event will be sent to
renderer without waiting for ACK
from renderer, then the Char event corresponding to the RawKeyDown event
will be sent to renderer without
checking if the RawKeyDown event was handled by either renderer or browser
(as accelerator key).
And in renderer, a Char event will be suppressed only if the corresponding
RawKeyDown event was handled
by webkit and it's not a system key event. You may refer to the code of
WebViewImpl::KeyEvent() method.
Thus, if a RawKeyDown event is an accelerator key, it'll be handled by
browser if it's not handled or blocked in
renderer, and in this case, the corresponding Char event will still be
handled by renderer and will lead strange
behaviors like the one mentioned in this issue.
Issue http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21471 is another
example, though it can be
worked around by CL http://codereview.chromium.org/195062.
Possible solutions for this issue:
1. Change the keyboard event handling flow to avoid sending a Char event to
renderer if corresponding
RawKeyDown event was handled by either browser or renderer. This solution
may need massive code change
to renderer_host and browser and may cause many regressions.
2. Change HandleKeyboardEvent method of TabContentsView to activate
accelerators by Char events rather
than RawKeyDown event. It should be doable for Linux, but not sure if it's
feasible for Windows and Mac.
