Ah.  I guess there is no solution then, other than waiting for Adobe.   
At least for the keystrokes that are swallowed by the browser shortcuts.

But something else is going on with the bug Henry is trying to fix  
here, because it seems to me the debugger used to work.  Are we saying  
Adobe introduced a bug that made it stop working?  Or have we changed  
out keyprocessing in such a way that it stopped working?

Gosh IWBNI everyone implemented allKeysUp for their keyboards...
