I’m developing commerce system. I want the system to be as lightweight as possible. I develop it on linux, of course. I want to achieve this:

I want to develop something like a desktop environment, just in HTML5/CSS3/jQuery.
I’m in a early phase of development, I’m testing several possibilities.
Now I know, I can boot right to google chrome in kiosk mode.
I can therefore develop anything I want, the only limitation is the screen resolution.
I’ve been testing jQuery Hotkeys. Now I know I can handle pretty much any hotkey, except for those like Alt-F4, Ctrl-W, and so on. Is it possible to force these hotkeys to be ignored by chrome and passed to script? Thanks for any help

    No.

    Script can never override browser behavior. It is not possible to catch browser-defined keyboard shortcuts.

    If your application is to be used on systems you have control over (in other words, it’s an internal app), you could write a wrapper for the WebKit engine that does not have its own keyboard shortcuts, or perhaps use an existing one.
