  • Patent number: 9417793
    Abstract: According to one general aspect, a computer-implemented method for managing global keyboard shortcuts is described. The method determines a web application or a browser extension accessible for execution by a browser of a client device. A user interface including available shortcut actions for the web application or the browser extension is provided, and a designation of a keyboard shortcut for an action from the available shortcut actions is received via the user interface. An association is created between the designated keyboard shortcut, the action, and a user account. The designated keyboard shortcut, the action, and the association may be stored on a server, and the designated keyboard shortcut, the action, and the association may be synced based on the user account.

  • Patent number: 7694328
    Abstract: An innovative security solution which separates a client into a Protected Context, which is the real files and resources of the client, and an Isolated Context, which is a restricted execution environment which makes use of virtualized resources to execute applications and modify content in the Isolated Context, without allowing explicit access to the resources in the Protected Context. The solution further consolidates user interfaces to allow users to seamlessly work with content in both contexts, and provide a visual indication of which display windows are rendered from content executed in the Isolated Context.
