IE 11 Ctrl + O always opens "Open" window #92

e.preventDefault(); doesn't work of course. This behaviour is prevented in Chrome, Safari, FF.

From what I've noticed this might be related to this IE11 issue - https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1046712/javascript-interception-and-termination-of-some-key-events-is-broken

It would be great to find a different workaround this issue than the one suggested in the link. If you can reproduce that (use the code below) please hit "Repros" button from the link above. Maybe somebody in Microsoft will handle the issue.

Here is the code that I've used: var my_combos = listener.register_many([ { "keys" : "ctrl o", "is_exclusive" : true, "prevent_default": true, "on_keydown" : function(e) { e.preventDefault(); console.log("You pressed ctrl and o together.", e); } } ]);

I'm gonna close this because it's not really a KeyPress issue. Some key events will always override (hitting the windows button for instance) and that needs to be considered when choosing how to map your key combos.
