But even then it should, at least, hack around the hotkeys of a compositor (so that upon pressing a "Next windows" hotkey a window wouldn't change), and panel showing the current window (to get hid).

For example, I'm no PowerShell expert, but I know I could craft a bash/dash one-liner to send all Firefox password databases in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox to a remote server using wget or cURL... or just use a much longer and more robust script via the "pipe curl's output into sh" trick all of the hip programming language package managers are using for installation these days.

Oh, to clarify, when I used the "sending the password file via HTTP" example as something that doesn't require hardware, I was thinking of things which wouldn't already have access to the password file, such as if you were using something like FireJail or Bubblewrap to run Steam or some other WebKit/Blink-embedding application sandboxed away from your normal browser.
(There's an ongoing problem with embeddable browser components not getting patched as quickly as the big browsers, so things which aren't browsers but can perform HTTP requests and/or run JavaScript are a softer target than going directly for the actual browser.)
