Ok, so you would recommend what? A single key? But remember, it needs to work in a text editor where you're actually typing stuff.
I hate to be the guy, but the "/" key definitely works to find something on firefox (and lots of programs), and definitely works in at least one text editor I know of...
- starwed 15y agoSure, and I always use "/" in Firefox. But we're talking about for the benefit of people using Word and other like editors.
- Prisen 15y ago"/" is also not a single key on all keyboard configurations. On a swedish keyboard it's shift+7, hardly any easier than ctrl+f.
- xiaoma 15y agoThere are fewer people in all of Sweeden than the city in which I currently live. I don't think theirs is the keyboard the world should be optimising for.
- weinzierl 15y agoThere are fewer people in all of the US than the rest of the world. I don't think theirs is the keyboard the world should be optimising for.
- xiaoma 15y agoCheck my profile. I'm in Beijing. Like it or not, the vast majority of the world uses a keyboard layout closer to that of the US than of Sweden.
