Does Google prevent Chrome extensions from executing userscripts on
its extensions gallery? I have a script in my extension which appends
a function to the document.onkeydown and document.onkeyup events. It
works fine on every other webpage but with one exception:
https://chrome.google.com/extensions

What can I do?

How about an API which handles all keyboard shortcuts for an
extension? I guess that would result in less or at least smaller
userscripts and therefore faster pageload. Furthermore it could avoid
conflicts between Chrome and its extensions but also between
extensions themselves.

Yes, currently, you cannot execute scripts on the gallery.
They consider lifting this restriction, but for now, this is the situation, due to security concerns.
