When attempting to use an IPMI Interface on a server Memex intercepts keystrokes and breaks functionality. Ideally, one could specify hosts/URLs where Memex was completely disabled rather than simply not indexing (doubly so since Memex is no longer attempting full-text indexing on all sites visited).
Detail
When attempting to use the WebRTC based forwarding of the keyboard, mouse, and video from a server Memex intercepts the keystrokes. In some situations these are completely captured and directed to the ribbon bar on the side of the page.
For example, in the following situation I have a server which is failing to boot. While navigating the filesystem I type:
cd<space>SHIFT+B (attempting to type cd BOOT<enter> to change into the directory FS0:\EFI\BOOT):
Instead of completing this SHIFT+B triggers the "bookmark" functionality. To be clear, all shortcuts cause similar problems.
Within my extension configuration the hostname (192.168.132.20) is flagged as a "blocked page":
Desired outcome
Personally I'm fine with Memex disabling the sidebar, being completely disabled per site, etc. While Google does provide documentation stating that an extension can be removed on a per-site basis the present implementation would require then managing sites as a allow-list which renders the extension of much lower utility.
Attempting to use the mechanism in the cited documentation fails in a myriad of different ways and is best summarized as "not a current solution to this problem."
Furthermore, I was hoping that there would be other ways of achieving this behavior, e.g.:
My suspicion is that this is merely another interface to the same code path.
