I appreciate all the work you and other maintainers put into Tridactyl as it’s the best extension of its kind so far. That being said Vim-in-the-browser still sucks to this day, especially with so many webapp sites that hijack browser shortcuts and never play nice with F-navigation.

Is there a way to completely disable all regular browser shortcuts as well as all key event propagation to the sites themselves, and make Tridactyl the be-all-end-all handler for the keyboard?

For websites stealing keys from Firefox, Tridactyl has some terribly named settings called `leavegithubalone` and `leavegithubalonekeys`

If `leavegithubalone` is set to false (the default) and a website can steal a `leavegithubalonekeys` key from Firefox (usually /) then that is a Tridactyl bug. Unfortunately it is a Tridactyl bug that I do not know how to fix :)

For Firefox stealing keys from Tridactyl, you can patch Firefox without rebuilding it as this intrepid bunch describe here
