Description
I’ve noticed that modifier keys (Shift, Alt, Meta, etc.) are forwarded to the target machine when an overlay is open. (Tested on MacOS, with Chrome and Firefox.)
On the one hand, modifier keys should probably be “harmless”, but that behaviour should actually still be prevented.

Research direction
Read app/static/js/app.js around lines 126-128, then reproduce the overlay behavior in Chrome or Firefox on macOS with Shift, Alt, or Meta. Done means modifier keys are no longer forwarded to the target machine while the overlay is open.
