The window permissions have changed to be app.window.alwaysOnTop (or something
like that), so you should use app.window.allKeys or something similar.

(the doco for alwaysOnTop and the esc overriding is showing the old format, now
that m35 is stable I'll update it soon).

yes, the permission added was "app.window.requestAllKeys" but I have changed it
to "app.window.allKeys" and also fixed the comments.
