Glance and Keyboard Focus

What happened?

When a newly Glanced pane appears, it doesn't have keyboard focus. I'm not entirely certain where keyboard focus is, but it's not on the pane. This means that I can't scroll using the keyboard (arrow keys, pg up/dn), and extensions like Vimium C don't work correctly (since they don't have focus on the pane).

Clicking on the pane resolves this, as it gives the pane focus. This is a minor nuisance, but as a keyboard-first type person, it makes Glance significantly less useful as a feature.

I've confirmed this behavior on both MacOS and Linux.

Additionally, if an extension (like VimC) traps ESC (because I want to dismiss the VimC overlay) the Glance pane also traps it, thus closing the glance. This may be a bug in the extension (because it's not preventing the bubbling of ESC) or it may be with Glance capturing ESC before the page gets it. Ideal behavior would be for the page/extensions to get first grab of ESC.

Reproducible?

• I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

I solved the first problem with loss of focus by adding to Vimium C: shortcut userCustomized1 command="visitPreviousTab" strangely enough, this causes the focus to be on the open tab in Glance. And use Ctrl-[ instead of ESC.
