Summary
Introduction: How many times have you loaded a webpage and started to type something into the search engine only to realize the cursor wasn't in the search box the whole time?
Sometimes you finish typing your whole sentence before realizing ya ain't typed jack squat into the search box. Ain't nobody got time for this.
Now when you type something and the cursor isn't in an editable box, an eye-catching notification will pop up letting you know so.
To temporarily disable the pop up, press the Escape key once.
How it works: When any webpage loads, this extension will hook into the keyboard event queue and everytime a key is pressed, the browser will call this extension to react.
This extension will first see if the event was handled by another process and if so it will stop.
Then it will see if any modifier keys were pressed such as (Control, Alt, Meta) and if so it will stop.
