Keybindings don't work while focused in password fields

[paulodiovani]

SKHD keybindinds don't work when a password field is focused on the browser.

It looks like, in password fields, the browser handles the keybinding itself, instead of the OS.

• OS keybindings should take precedence over application
• In the same way, SKHD-defined keybindings should take precedence over any other apps, since they are more general and can be set per application

Test details

• Tested in Firefox and Chromium.
• Does not happen with other input fields

How to reproduce

1. create a custom keybinding. e.g.

   cmd - t : open -na /System/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app

2. open a login page (e.g. https://accounts.google.com/)

3. Fill in your username

4. When on the password field, hit your keybinding (e.g. cmd - t)

Expected

Run the keybinding and execute the action (e.g. open the terminal app)

Current

• Nothing happens
• Browser custom keybinding, if any, occurs (e.g. open a new tab)
