You mean the standard OS X shortcuts if you use a US keyboard, right? The shortcuts on a German keyboard (which does not have [ and ] keys) for back and forward

You mean the standard OS X shortcuts if you use a US keyboard, right? The shortcuts on a German keyboard (which does not have [ and ] keys) for back and forward are Shift-Cmd-Ö and Shif-Cmd-Ä (that’s using Safari), clearly inferior to Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right.
Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right are necessary.
(Google Chrome has actually Cmd-[ and Cmd-] as back and forward even with my German keyboard layout – which is quite dumb and shows that they don’t seem to care much for localization. Cmd-[ translates to Alt-Cmd-5 on a German keyboard.)
- silverlight 15y agoYou know it's an open source project and you could go ahead and add code yourself to support a more sensible shortcut on German keyboards, right? The sense of entitlement when it comes to something created and used freely, solely for the purpose of making the world better, sometimes simply astounds me.
- ugh 15y agoI can’t, actually, I’m not a developer, but that’s very much besides the point. I don’t think something should be protected from criticism just because it’s free. Just because it’s open source doesn’t mean I have to try to fix it before I’m allowed to criticize it. I can simply recognize shoddy workmanship and move on.
