How can you escape a KeyTrap without a Mouse?

Whenever I am on a website that has a flash or Java object in it such as YouTube or a game site, whenever the object is activated it traps the keyboard input and access to the Browser's shortcuts etc are unavailable.
As an example in Ctrl + T opens a new Tab. If you open a YouTube page showing a video and then click the YouTube player so that it takes the keyboard inputs, when you press Ctrl + T it doesn't work anymore. The Flash object is trapping the input. No amount of pressing Tab etc works to escape the input trap.
How do you escape this key-trap WITHOUT using the mouse? This is a question of accessibility; you should be able to escape the key-trap and return key-focus to the browser itself. I do not want to be told to terminate the process I want to know how to escape the key-trap. PC Emulators etc usually have 'Host Keys' a key that returns the key focus to the Host OS. Does Firefox have a Host Key or a shortcut to return key focus to the browser itself and escape the object?

Here is a discussion that might help you.

    How can you listen to music without headphones?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

    How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
    Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
    Thanks!

    This is the only way I know of.  It is messy though.

  • How can you find your ipod without your serial number or iclould

    how can you find your ipod without a serial number or a iclould?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

  • HT2534 ummm, we don't have the none button to select for our payment type, how can you set it up without that button or a credit card??? apple isn't doing to good of a job so far and i'm not impressed

    Hi, I'm setting up an account for my brother, but apparently we need a credit card. Neither of us own one and the system won't let us continue without one. Now I know that there's supposed to be a none selection, but it won't appear on ours. How can we continue if we don't have a credit card or the none selection button??? Help us please!!!!

    When I created a new account on my computer's iTunes yesterday, I first logged out of my existing account. I then found a free app in the store, clicked on it's free 'price' to 'buy' it, clicked on 'create Apple id' and filled in details about the new account and which gave me the option of 'none' for the payment details - clicking on the 'verify' email that I received then allowed me to download a free app.
    That is the process that you are using when you tried to create both new accounts ? The instructions won't work on existing accounts (even if the account has only been partially created), and you are in the country that you are trying to create the account for ?

  • How can you get free apps without a credit card?

    I got this iPod touch for my birthday and I really wanted to get cranking on getting free apps. I had made an account and everything, and it keeps asking me to finalize my payment plans. The thing is, is that i dont have a credit card. And all i want is free apps. So what can I do, because there  is no "none" option on iTunes 10.4 to indicate that you dont have a credit card. I tried making a new account, and I selecting a free app then going through the process hoping to find the "none" option, but nothing has worked.

  • How can you execute a form without connecting to database?

    Hello,
    Is it possible to run a form without connecting to database? If Yes, how?
    Thanking you very much
    Thobula Rakesh

    Hello Form Friends,
    After R&D I found that, it is very much possible to execute a form without connecting to Database.
    Example:
    Step 1: Create a new form 'Form1'
    Step 2: Create a block 'Block1' and add button'But1'. Write a exit_form built-in on when-button-pressed trigger on 'But1' and compile it.
    Step 3: Create a on-logon trigger at form level and just give a message('on-logon');
    Step 4: Execute the form.
    The form executes perfectly without asking any connection to the database. On-Logon trigger initiates a logon process to non-oracle data source.
    Regards

  • How can you execute a function while the mouse is over a button.

    I've got a movieclip I want to move across the screen on the x axis to the left or right depending on which button the user hovers their mouse over.
    I thought I could do this with the following:
    right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, moveRight);
    left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, moveLeft);
    function moveRight(e.MouseEvent):void
         sampleMovieclip_mc.x += 1;
    function moveLeft(e.MouseEvent):void
         sampleMovieclip_mc.x -= 1;
    But I find that it only moves it 1 pixel when the mouse first goes over the button and not continiously as it stays over it.  I tried using Event.ENTER_FRAME to call the moveRight and moveLeft functions, but it just keeps going and I'm not sure how to kill the function once they move the mouse off of the button.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    use removeEventListener() method. Here is one of the ways to deal with it:
    // move direction
    var xd:int = 1;
    // speed along x
    var xs:Number = 1;
    right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
    right_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
    left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onMouseOver);
    left_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
    function onMouseOver(e:MouseEvent):void {
         xd = e.curretnTarget == right_btn ? 1 : -1;
         addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onMouseOut(e:MouseEvent):void {
         removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);
    function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void
         sampleMovieclip_mc.x += xd * xs;

    I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone.  How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them.  You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.

    You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.
