On top of that it's a constant perplexing hindrance for Luddites like myself who insist upon using the backspace key to navigate back a page, instead leaving me wondering why my search results page is refreshing instead.
Every. Single. Time.
I know, I know, it's my fault. But it's not.
- mortehu 9y agoYou can also use Alt-LeftArrow, which works even if a text input field had focus.
- detritus 9y agoI know, I know :) It's just muscle memory - I've been using backspace since '97 or so.
- Sylos 9y agoDidn't Google even disable backspace to go back in Chrome somewhen last year? Or did they revert that again? And well, there's many keyboards out there with no right Alt, meaning that you have to use two hands to execute that shortcut. So, I really don't think, it's a good idea to try to force people away from using backspace, as bad of a key as it is to be using for this...
