Pass browser keys to web app when in fullscreen mode

Project Member Reported by garykac@chromium.org, Jan 12 2017 
Chrome currently has a number of "browser" shortcut keys that are not sent to the web app. For example, the following (related to managing tabs and windows):
   Ctrl/Cmd + (T | W | N)
   Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + (T | W | N)
We propose that all keys normally reserved by the browser (except Escape and F11, as appropriate) should be sent to the app when the browser is in fullscreen mode.

Labels: OS-Android
Update:

This is also applicable on some mobile platforms.

Chrome for Android supports Fullscreen API, and it's possible to connect a physical keyboard via Bluetooth, USB host or proprietary attachment (e.g. Pixel C), and a subset of shortcuts like Ctrl-T is indeed handled.

Probably not applicable to Android WebView because WebView does not have browser shortcuts.
