    1. COWell, I appreciate the definitive answer, except for the 'thankfully' part. I'm developing a graphical design web app that uses keyboard input to switch between tools. So I need to change the mouse cursor from 'pointer' to 'move' or 'resize'. Currently, the cursor just disappears when changing tools, which is unacceptable. The current capabilities of web browsers would allow for development of all kinds of cool apps with great ease except for ridiculous limitations like this.

    2. CO@William, apologies for the use of the term. Perhaps another might have been subtler. My point was that browser makers have actually gotten a lot better about locking down some of these things. That:s what I was being thankful for. What you describe does indeed sound like an interesting, and useful application. Is the issue not so much "when I type", but rather how to capture keyboard input and prevent default actions?

    3. COThe issue is that I have a selection of objects that I may want to move or resize and a UI convention where you can hit a 'g' or 's' key to 'grab' or 'scale' (just like Blender does it). Currently, when I hit one of those keys, the mouse cursor just disappears and the user has to move the mouse to get the cursor to show up. This doesn't happen in Mac apps such as the Gimp so presumably there is a low-level way to prevent cursor-hiding while typing on the mac. But not in browsers apparently.
