Re: Keyboard APZ has landed on Inbound

We will not do keyboard APZ, even if the event listener is marked passive. Passive only restricts the use of preventDefault, and we also care about whether the event listener changes the focus or selection of a page. An example where this matters would be a page with a key listener that sets
