It 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.
