Description
Describe the bug
When using yy to copy the current address, the current tab becomes blurred and requires a re-click so that keyboard events register again.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to any URL
- Press
yyto yank the current address - Note that the current tab has lost connection with keyboard events and requires clicking somewhere in the window to re-register them
- If you switch to another tab you'll notice keyboard events still register until you use
yyagain.
Include a screenshot if applicable.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Brave on Ubuntu by opening a URL and pressing yy, then compare keyboard-event behavior before and after switching tabs. Trace the browser-extension handling of the yy command; done means copying the address no longer blurs the current tab or requires a click to restore keyboard input.
