keyboard-handler Work Globally?

[Tiestarian]

The keyboard-handler example only seems to pick up on key events when it has focus. Is it possible, or will it ever be possible, to get it to recognise the events even when it doesn't have focus?

I want to create an app which uses keyboard shortcuts to interact with the app even when it doesn't have focus (specifically media keys on a music app).

This will probably be implemented by systemwide commands, which haven't
done yet.

It is in progress though and you can try it out on Windows (and Linux) if you run chrome.exe on trunk with --enable-global-commands command line param.
