JavaScript code could request all kinds of other keyboard actions for example. 
I don't really mind the objects receiving focus...

... but ...

if the object does _not_ handle the key (like normally the arrows or space 
won't be handled) it would be nice to propagate them up to all parent views 
and actions. Just the views and actions, because AFAIK the DOM events 
shouldn't be propagated upwards. But keyboard navigation and other shortcuts 
should not become disabled. The current behaviour annoyed me quite a bit, 
actually.
