Firefox doesn't accept some characters #40

Almost certainly related to this where e.g. wtype l doesn't work on the webpage but works on the address bar of the Firefox UI. Hoping for a workaround to be implemented for at least the keys in the context menu, e.g. "l" to "Copy Link" when mouse is over clickable content on the webpage. The use case is to mouse over and a clickable link and then have wtype right-click and key press "l" to select to copy link to the clipboard.

ydotool works in this regard but I am not interested in running a server with elevated permissions for both it and the commands involved.

Much appreciated.
