             Summary: Add support for chromium keyboard lock allowing for system keys and shortcuts
                 Key: GUACAMOLE-989
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-989
             Project: Guacamole
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Aaron


When accessing guacamole in a browser it would be great to have full RDP-like keyboard key and shortcut access. It is very easy to perform actions by special shortcuts (ie, Windows+Key, Alt+Tab) local PC instead of the intended remote PC as well as CTRL key shortcuts on the local browser instead of the remote browser. Another problem is closing the guacamole tab by accident via Ctrl+F4 (I've done this several times!). Some similar issues were voiced in GUACAMOLE-121 regarding CTRL+W.

Please add support for Chromium's system keyboard lock API which allows a rich keyboard experience in full screen mode (you hold ESC for 2 seconds to exit). This would allow using special keys and shortcuts that we use habitually, and habits are hard to break. So why break them? Instead add keyboard lock functionality.
