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?

@bobobobo: what browser? – studiohack♦ Apr 2 '10 at 2:31
Well, I'm using Firefox, but the same thing happens in chrome – bobobobo Apr 2 '10 at 14:36
It doesn't in IE. If I was to make a guess what browser does it sensibly ... ;) – Joey Jun 7 '10 at 12:51

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 Apr 2 '10 at 14:35
