I need to find those, because I keep getting the ones that go Namibia > East Timor > Wake Island when I try that.
- OisinMoran 7y agoHave you tried typing N multiple times? My go to method is typing I six times to get me to Ireland and it usually works.
- Normal_gaussian 7y agoA default select works with combinations using the latest Firefox and Chrome - see https://jsfiddle.net/0kcbnfd2/ https://jsfiddle.net/0kcbnfd2/ It could be a case of custom controls being poorly implemented.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoIt's why I always recommend against non-native controls by default, whether on the web or desktop/mobile - even if you're particularly observant about your platform (and most devs aren't), there's probably still a bunch of little things like these that you'll miss and won't implement, and that people actually use daily.
- yellowapple 7y agoAnd not only that, but unless you're observant about literally every platform on which your app will run, you are bound to break something, whether subtly or majorly.
- icebraining 7y agoI thought it wasn't working, but apparently on FF you have to do it really fast. Take a second between key presses and it'll just revert to the old behaviour. Talk about being shitty to people with poorer motor control or who need to hunt and peck.
- EdwardDiego 7y agoNow that's how it always should've worked.
- progval 7y agoWhat OS do you use? Linux apps do what your parent comment describes, and from memory, Windows apps do what you describe.
