Allow overriding ctrl-w using a webextension command about firenvim HOT 7 CLOSED

I've implemented the ability to override <C-n>, <C-t> and <C-w> (which are the only 3 keyboard shortcuts that can't be overriden on Chrome AFAIK) in 8c73600, read this to discover how to use it :).
Note that this is currently only available if you build the browser extensions from source - otherwise you'll have to wait for me to publish a new release.

Hi, thanks for pointing this out, I had completely forgotten about the commands API. This API doesn't let you override what happens when you press <C-w> on Firefox, which was the only browser I supported when I wrote the Drawbacks section of the readme.
I'll see what I can do for Chrome :).

According to the description of this addon, this might only be the case on Linux.

Yes, you can narrow the replacement by using key id="key_close" data-l10n-id="close-shortcut" command="cmd_close" modifiers="accel" reserved="true" as the pattern and key id="key_close" data-l10n-id="close-shortcut" command="cmd_close" modifiers="accel" as the replacement :)

But shouldn't the regex be like this (the spaces replacing the reserved attribute)?

Yeah, probably :)
