It was unknown to me until last week that web browsers can now share screens--I mean the whole desktop! I had to do a webex session, and I assumed I needed either Chrome or some kind of native app to do screen share. But, to my pleasant surprise, webex worked well with Firefox!
Also new to me is 'pointer locking'. I wonder/wish if/when browsers would be able to transparently pass key bindings that'd otherwise be captured by the OS, like Alt+Tab. Then, just by visiting a website, I could use, for example, Citrix desktop remote login through my browser as if it were a native app.

- tyingq 6y agoThere is a keyboard lock api, and you can capture Alt+Tab, but only when you're already in full-screen mode. Mostly Chrome only: https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_keyboard_lock https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_keyboard_lock
