I wanted to use Ctrl+N, Ctrl+O and Ctrl+T shortcuts in my webapp. I reported a bug 3 years ago https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=321810 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=321810 which is not fixed yet, but they have "fixed" Backspace ... that seems crazy to me.
- qb45 10y agoAnd what's next to override, the power button? I wholly agree with this WONTFIX.
- fixermark 10y agoIt makes it quite difficult to write a terminal emulator web app. Chrome, at least, can resolve this issue by bundling up your web app as a Chrome app; apps launched from the Chrome App Store can launch into a context where the standard Chrome modifier keys aren't mapped.
- emodendroket 10y agoWhy don't you define an alternate button that acts like ctrl? It's the same as how in Windows remote desktop you have to use ctrl-alt-end instead of ctrl-alt-del because the software can't override the handling of that keypress
- fixermark 10y agoProbably for similar reasons to the ones people have expressed in this thread about not wanting to have to re-learn backspace. ;) Perfectly doable; doesn't solve the problem of not mapping to what one is accustom to. I'm an emacs user. If Ctrl-c does something different from starting a chord, I'm gonna have a bad time.
- emodendroket 10y agoI switched from using a Mac keyboard to using a Windows one when I was still a heavy emacs user; I think you'll get adjusted much faster than you think.
- IvanK_net 10y agoBrowser still has the top part of the window containing navigation buttons. There will always be at least one way to "kill a website" if something bad happens. All other controls should be offered to webapps to let them give users a better experience.
