The advice of this article is good, but I don't think it should be up to individual website authors to behave well. Ideally, there ought to be a standardized javascript API for binding control keys. Then the browser could prohibit rebinding if desired (while giving feedback to the webapp as to whether rebinding was allowed), and provide an accompanying UI for the user to see which controls are enabled/disabled, to whitelist or blacklist websites, and so on.


Yes please. Especially if it has a single browser option to disable all key rebinding.
