Background
I am trying to create a chrome extension which displays a quill editor on youtube for note making.I am injecting the quill editor using content script that is visible when a button is clicked on the youtube page.
Problem
Youtube has a lot of hotkeys configured(like f for full screen etc.).When I type in the editor,the hotkeys get executed thus disrupting the flow.
Attempts
One of the things that I tried was to capture onKeydown event but as javascripts of both extension and webpage run in separate environments , it did not work.
document.onkeydown = function (e) {
return false;
}
Another interesting as youtube hotkeys are disabled when the input field is textarea.So instead of quill,if I use regular text area,it works out fine.But Quill works on divs and not on input/textarea fields.
Is there a way I can disable youtube hotkeys when the quill editor is showing up on screen.
