Can I use keybindings to interact with Flash-based sites like YouTube?

In general, once a Flash object has focus Vimperator loses the ability to process key press events. This is a limitation of the Mozilla platform. To restore control to Vimperator you can click on another part of the page to remove focus from the Flash object. Assigning a window manager key binding to perform this task is the best approach. However, several sites offer a JavaScript API to their Flash viewers and these can be used by Vimperator plugins to provide keyboard control and more. For example, this plugin provides a range of Ex commands for interacting with YouTube. There is also the flashblock Vimperator plugin providing means for enabling and disabling Flash using commands or whitelist.
