Browser Client Hijacks Browser Keys

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something completely obvious, but every time I open a Sandbox on CodeSandBox.io with Vim keybindings set, the application completely Hijacks Chrome's (probably all) keyboard shortcuts. For instance, ctrl-Tab won't change tabs in Chrome, but will trigger the change file function in the editor. All of this is fine, but I expect to be able to "escape" the application (with Esc) and gain access to the browser controls. Without knowing how to regain my browser facilities I'm effectively blocked from using the service

To reproduce, open an editor in chrome with Vim bindings and try to change tabs with ctrl-Tab

Hey @zach-is-my-name - This is intentional. We don't have an escape function I believe but can pass this on as feedback!

There is no escape! Got it. Thanks! 👍
