User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0

Steps to reproduce:

Used web interface for VMware ESXi
Have console window open
Use Ctrl-W to "erase word" on the console (as usual)

Actual results:

The window is closed

Expected results:

I would like to see a way to disable the handling of Ctrl-W by Firefox itself, and instead have it passed to the javascript terminal emulator running in the window, that would send it to the remote system.
Ctrl-W is an especially nasty shortcut, but maybe any shortcut should have a configurable enable/disable setting.
