> The issue tracker discussion seems reasonable to me. The UI team don't want to add and support the code necessary to facilitate the multitude of requests for remapping and shortcuts, so would prefer a suitable API for extensions. The kernel team have serious security concerns about such an API, because it would effectively permit keyloggers on the Chrome OS platform.

After encountering a few issues like this, it's why I no longer use Chrome on any device. I understand the Chrome team is incredibly busy. But especially on Chrome UX matters, user_request > UX_rejection > API_request > /dev/null seems an annoyingly common outcome.
