Mouse interaction with webpage ('enter' and 'exit' page interaction), besides .web command

[deathcap]

Currently, the webpage doesn't receive mouse events. You can already interact with the webpage using the keyboard - press Escape to exit pointer lock, then Tab to traverse the links, text fields etc., but mouse events aren't passed. Would be cool if they were, somehow.

(But the WebGL view canvas needs mouse events to acquire pointer lock?)

If the 3d css div z-index is changed from -1 to 0, then you can interact with the iframe:

but not the canvas. Maybe a separate mode you can enter and exit for this purpose.

From the developer console:

document.getElementById('voxel-webview').parentElement.parentElement.style.zIndex=0

You can even load the game into itself:

document.getElementById('voxel-webview').src = 'http://deathcap.github.io/voxpopuli/'

and it runs at full performance:

similar to /u/drasdafy suggested (but instead for MC) at https://pay.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/1xzbya/and_this_is_why_i_love_mods/

You know what'd be cool? Playing the browser based version of minecraft, within minecraft. :3

added .url and .web to voxel/voxel-commands@60effbb just for fun.. how far can it go ;)

Fixed "Failed to enable plugin" bug in screenshots above with voxel/voxel-plugins@9cd27df

Added 'click outside of webview to return to game' in 7b07305 - but 1) if the iframe fills up the whole screen, how can you exit? (well, if voxel-inventory-hotbar is installed you can click it since it covers the iframe), 2) there's still no in-game survival means to 'enter' the webview interaction (temporary: .enable voxel-webview and then .web commands in voxel-commands) - might need a block to allow right-click interaction with voxel-use (ref GH-3)

alternate approach at http://deathcap.github.io/gl-css3d/ - (uses a button to) toggle the pointer-events CSS properties, to switch between game (WebGL) and browser (CSS3D) mouse interaction. On the other hand raising the z-index (which has been working and still works in 0.2. with voxel-webview's built-in .web command) has the advantage that it raises the webpage above the canvas so it isn't necessarily occluded, making for easier interaction.
