You should be able to do that. I know it's possible to intercept keystrokes
with JS. As long as the interception can stop the focus path from traveling
long enough for your first few actions to take place. Other possibility is
having an alert that you can move focus to when the focus is lost that says
"please wait" while your other action are taking place. Kind of another
"buying time" mechanism.
