Page's shortcut keys are triggered while searching #156

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Disable direct search.
2. Open a site which uses single-key shortcuts. (E. g. Gmail with the 
appropriate setting enabled.)
3. Start a search for links. (In Gmail, for example, with <'>.)
4. Type something that matches the site's keyboard shortcuts. (In Gmail, for 
example, "jk`".)

Expected:
Extension searches for string. (E. g. "jk`".)

Actual:
The search happens, but the Gmail actions also happen. (E. g. next message, 
previous message, switch category.)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

This is Type-ahead-find 0.4.3 on Chrome and Opera for Linux.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is similar to #95, but I'm not sure I understand it and it seems that that 
reporter experienced slightly different symptoms. (It sounds like the search 
box wasn't filled when he typed a shortcut, and that the shortcuts weren't 
available afterward either.)

The extensions usually does not work well (because of the way JS events are 
handled) with sites that define their own shortcuts (direct search or no direct 
search). Sorry.
