On Youtube.com the flash applet seems to suck the input focus. Shortcuts like CTRL+T or ALT don't seem to work.
How can you make a new window without having to touch the mouse (keyboard only) when on youtube.com or other sites that have a flash app that traps keystrokes?

I can't test right now, but did you alt-tabbing out and back in the window?

Click outside the Flash applet. Embeds override the browser's default keyboard shortcuts.

No but, without touching the mouse, keyboard only – bobobobo – 2010-04-02T14:35:17.590

Double-pressing the Window button does the trick faster than alt-tabbing with the same result (focus on Firefox as such rather than flash on the page).

@bobobobo: what browser? – studiohack – 2010-04-02T02:31:54.287
Well, I'm using Firefox, but the same thing happens in chrome – bobobobo – 2010-04-02T14:36:13.860
It doesn't in IE. If I was to make a guess what browser does it sensibly ... ;) – Joey – 2010-06-07T12:51:23.630
