According to various sources, including the Chrome developers, the following should make an element fullscreen with support for keyboard events:

myElement.webkitRequestFullscreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT)

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The element is made fullscreen, but my keydown event listeners aren't triggered. A quick inspection shows that Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT is undefined. Ah...

  • Was this functionality removed? Looks like it, but I haven't been able to find any online article or release note mentioning this. Nor found anybody else having the same problem.
  • Or is this a red herring, was it always undefined, and is my bug somewhere else?

I'm on Chrome 108.0.5359.124, Linux.
