Tridactyl can't respond to a continouous sequence of key events in textbox

[xiangsheng]

• Brief description of the problem:

  For any textbox in a page, with the tridactyl addon, I can't delete letters continuously by pressing the BACKSPACE key. That is, even if I keep pressing the BACKSPACE, I can only delete ONE letter. In fact, this bug is not limited to the BACKSPACE key alone. For example, I can't move the caret continuously by pressing the arrow keys. This bug seems to be introduced in recent version of tridactyl since I never notice this bug before.

• Steps to reproduce:

  Open any webpage. Anywhere in a textbox, keep pressing a key like BACKSPACE, SPACE, UP ... and observe the behaviour of the caret.

• Tridactyl version (:version):

  1.24.1pre7005-bd23136c

• Firefox version (Top right menu > Help > About Firefox):

  124.0.1(64bit)

• URL of the website the bug happens on:

  Any webpage except the pages owned by Firefox.

• Config (in a new tab, run :viewconfig --user, copy the url and paste it somewhere like gist.github.com):

I haven't tried to reproduce this yet and won't be able to for a few days, but if it's really Tridactyl's fault it is probably because we are interfering with the repeat key events
