Keybindings fire in textbox elements

[wshanks]

Mousetrap does not know about XUL elements that are not standard HTML, so it does not suppress itself inside of them.

can it be fixed?

It is fixed for things that are actually the textbox class by 1ab9ee0. I have noticed that there are some other text input box elements for which key events still fire. In particular, events do not fire for me for composing emails or entering text in the search box, but they do fire for the quick search box. I want to fix the quick search box issue but I haven't had time to look into it. My workaround for now is to type my text in the regular search box, select and cut the text with ctrl+A, ctrl+X, and then paste the text into the quick search box.

Have you noticed other text boxes for which events fire?

yes the quick search textbox and i found that the top rigth "search for addons " on the extension page also.

thanks!

The previous commit fixed textbox elements and now b217506 fixes input elements like the quick search and addons search fields. I played around in the UI and didn't find any other types of text fields, so hopefully it is good now.
