[no solution]Flash ate my keystrokes

Hi all, I am a user of Vimperator, and I hate that when the focus is on a flash object, E.G a youtube player, it eats my keystrokes and does not pass them to my Vimperator. As a result I have to use a mouse from time to time, which is killing me. Is there any way to completely disable keyboard for flash plugin?

Unfortunately no. It was quite a news point when Firefox was able to do something as simple as scroll the page when focus was on a Flash object, and said object didn't do anything useful with scroll events.

I find it interesting that you only have to move your mouse - I have to actually click outside the control to direct focus back to my browser here.

Windows was made for looking at success from a distance through a wall of oversimplicity. Linux removes the wall, so you can just walk up to success and make it your own.

Yes I also need to click somewhere else on the page. Thanks for your answer. What a pity this issue cannot be solved.
