A list of Firefox hotkeys that can't be captured and/or stopped using web page JavaScript

Firefox Enforced Hotkeys

Firefox provides a list of keyboard shortcuts/hotkeys. Most of these can be captured using an addEventListener and have their default action (e.g. reload the tab) prevented using preventDefault.

Below is a list of hotkeys that when entered in the web page, either can't be captured with JavaScript and/or will always perform their default action. This means the particular hotkey can't be used for actions inside the web page or rebound by extensions such as SakaKey and Shortkeys.

Notes:

Currently this list only contains results for Windows 10 and Firefox 64

Key press can be captured, but default action still occurs.
