  • I wrote an extension years ago for all browsers, and things change fast, its really hard to maintain. Commented Sep 22, 2012 at 0:58
  • A Flash text input would do the trick. (Note that Flash can be a RDP client with ease, this comes from an experienced AS3 developer - it just needs a socket policy file be served before attempting to connect). Commented Sep 22, 2012 at 2:08

    @wvxcw Not true. Once Flash has focus, NOTHING is captured by the browser. Not even browser keyboard shortcuts. Also, from the browser to Javascript event listeners is one more hop, they are not the same thing. Commented Sep 22, 2012 at 11:08
  • You try cathing keyboard events in Javascript (maybe with injected code) after passing focus to Flash (this is what my response was refering to; so did YOU try it before arguing?). As far as browser shortcuts go, it all depends on how the ActiveX/Plugin is embeded. Some browsers want control over browser shortcuts, some do not (Google Chrome CTRL-O does not work when Flash has focus). Not relevant, please focus on the problem. Commented Sep 22, 2012 at 14:03
  • Those are system wide shortcuts. Also, I am not trying to capture events in Javascript, I am trying to prevent injected javascript code from doing it. So far, so good, Flash fits the bill. Commented Sep 24, 2012 at 10:25
