Hmm… That may be easier said than done. As by default the keyboard keypress framework that Discourse uses, doesn’t capture keypresses that are made in input boxes (which is why pressing it twice works).

So there is nothing capturing the second pressing of it. And if we did, you’d have us capturing it instead of the browser responding to it… So its a bit of catch-22 here.
