The commands API needs more key options, including the (forward)
slash/solidus character.
I've just tested the API and verified that use of it can restore my
extension to 100% of its previous functionality if the aforementioned
key is made available.
More specifically, my tab duplication extension uses the keyboard
shortcut Alt+/, the choice of which has figurative significance. When I
converted it from an XUL/XPCOM extension to a WebExtension, in order to
keep the shortcut choice intact I had to use content scripts with
document.defaultView.addEventListener("keyup"). This means that my
extension can no longer duplicate tabs without a file:, ftp:, http:, or
https: URL (due to content script match pattern restrictions) and
therefore suffers from an inconsistent UI since it will duplicate some
tabs, but inexplicably not duplicate others.
