Surfingkeys: mouse over elements doesn't work

Error details

Ctrl-h for mouseover (hover) over elements doesn’t work for me.

Context

  • Visit the above URL
  • Press Ctrl-h
  • Press x to select “Activity”
  • A blue border briefly appears around “Activity” then vanishes, but nothing else happens.

In contrast, if I hover the mouse over it, I get a dropdown menu.

It didn’t work for me either. If I try it now, it seems to do what it’s supposed to, but then follows it up with the equivalent of clicking on whatever element was hovered-over. For instance, if I ctrl+h on this github page over someone’s user icon, it’s supposed to show me a tooltip of the profile info of that user. It does that for a second, then takes me to their profile page. 😕

In that case I believe Ctrl-j should be removed as well

Ctrl-h does not work in some(most) cases apparently, I’ll remove it and only support it in my chromium build with a experimental API chrome.surfingkeys.sendMouseEvent.
