"You’re in a browser, so the delete button tells the browser to go back to the previous page you visited in that particular tab. "
Nothing at all to do with CodeAcademy- but I really hate this behavior.
- mgkimsal 15y agoAgreed 110%. given that up and down arrows scroll up and down, having left/right arrow keys ties to history fwd/back would make a heck of a lot more sense.
- dangrossman 15y agoI don't follow. Given that up and down arrows scroll up and down, left and right should scroll left and right, which is what they do.
- mgkimsal 15y agoLeft/right - yeah, I see your point. I was testing it on a page that didn't need to scroll left/right when I tried it, so that didn't occur to me. I probably always mouse or trackpad for scrolling anyway, so my key-fu is a bit rusty. Still... 'delete/backspace' going back in a browser never made sense to me.
- haldean 15y agoOn many keyboards, there's an arrow pointing to the left on the backspace key, which may be where the convention comes from.
