I'd like to map keystrokes that can be interpreted by the browser to something else.

For example, Ctrl+W navigates between split windows in Vim. However it also closes the browser tab.
Currently, I don't know of anyway to send the Ctrl+W keystroke to Gateone.

What I'm thinking is something along the lines of what screen does for it's own commands (screen uses ^a).
^g+w : send Ctrl+w
^g+1 : send Ctrl+1
etc...
Maybe even:
^G+w : send Alt+w
^G+1 : send Alt+1
etc...

However, this might also be classified as a different bug, since gateone doesn't always capture the keystrokes properly.
The biggest issue is if I change browser tabs while a session is open, and when switching back it doesn't capture the keyboard the same way as before.
