Shortcuts not triggering when no page is loaded in Chrome for Mac #2

The keyboard shortcuts are triggering from most web pages, but they don't trigger when no page is loaded.

To reproduce, either

(A)

(B)

I haven't tested in Win/Linux, so this may or may not be Mac specific.

Thanks for sharing this great extension, really useful!

I'm afraid the only way to support keyboard shortcuts in Chrome extensions currently is to put them in a content script, which is injected into web pages. So when there is no actual webpage, they don't work.

I would like them to work everywhere, but before that happens, it needs to be supported in Chrome.

I'll leave the ticket open since I do want to fix it if/when it becomes possible.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick and informative response. Hopefully the chrome team adds support for global shortcuts soon.

Cheers
