Motivation and context
Typing in a textarea disables app shortcuts to avoid breaking normal text editing. It makes it harder to control the audio (seek/playblack).
Allowing individual shortcuts inside inputs is unsafe: user-configured bindings can conflict with typing, selection, or native controls. For play/pause which is
spaceby default, even combinations of space with modifier keys are widely used and represent system shortcuts for system menus and operations.This PoC introduces a concept of focus bookmark:
Press Esc in a textarea to blur it and leave a caret bookmark. App shortcuts become available; use them to navigate or control playback. In Cursor mode, press Esc again to restore focus at the bookmarked caret position and continue typing.
Real scenario:
It allows to implement this scenario without using mouse at all, making such transcription faster.
How focus bookmark looks like:

Note: hovering over it displays the help tooltip on how it operates.
How has this been tested?
