Thanks so much @zcorpan et al for your help advice. Hope you can converge this soon.

1. 
   > In addition, it is not entirely clear which keys should be intercepted and which should not. In FF151, I checked that Ctrl+W and Alt+Tab are not intercepted, although Chromium does it. It's a bit off-top, but nevertheless I would like to mention it: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2034292

   IMO - FWIW the uncertaintly is also a pain for users - it would be great to be a bit more precise about  the interfaces we know can't be intercepted, such as Ctrl+Alt+Delete on Windows. 
   
2. It would be convenient _for me_ to mandate exit via Esc long-press - it simplifies the docs and makes it easier to switch between browsers without having to learn something new.
3. When fullscreen first became a thing I didn't know you could exit it with ESC (I missed the notification - and there were a couple of weeks I was stuck in my browser banging kesy). This lock might have the same problem, at least in the short term.  Worth thinking about multi-tap of esc popping up the notification again?
