Watch for the mouse along the upper 10px of the window [0] or use of the [Ctrl] key (for Ctrl+L or Ctrl+W). Or as other said, for a threshold of upper/upper-left mouse movement.
You'll get a few false flags from people trying to Ctrl+C but so many people use the right-click context menu to copy/paste...you can probably ignore Ctrl+_ entirely and just focus on that window near the top. Most users will pass by that area when going to:
1) Change to another tab
2) Close the tab
3) Type a new search/website in the Omnibar

- JimDabell 10y agoThat's really irritating because you get false positives (not "false flag", that's something else entirely) whenever you go to change tabs with the mouse. If somebody is interested in subscribing, then a subscribe box at the bottom or side of the content is fine.
- Nadya 10y agoAh, too late to fix my mistake now. Just a little slip. :) Thanks for the correction. I know the difference of course, just had the wrong thing in my mind while typing! >whenever you go to change tabs with the mouse. Only fire the event once, as most people will be leaving. Not flipping between tabs. >If somebody is interested in subscribing, then a subscribe box at the bottom or side of the content is fine. Research and A/B tests say otherwise. I was sharing a popular method - I don't use it myself. I don't agree with it and I don't browse sites that make use of the annoying pop-up modals. But the trade off of driving away some users to capture many more is one many people and companies would make.
