There are quite a few things I really like about it. It makes it really easy to quickly share something without having to choose the language for it to reasonably syntax-highlight (and the ability to change the URL for more precise highlighting is very nice). My main gripe is the hotkeys. In the latest stable Chrome, some hotkeys (control+n, control+t) don't work, as they perform the native chrome operations (open new window, open new tab).

maybe if enough people complain to google, they'll change this bug from WontFix to Fixed... http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=33056 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=33056 very annoying bug. Hastebin is cool, but wish it could be keyboard only on chrome and ctrl-n/ctrl-t are the perfect shortcuts.

  I for one don't like default actions being taken away from me. I use ^N ^T and ^W constantly, and a page taking them away from me would be extremely annoying.

    I'll switch them up to ^shift-n, etc tonight Thanks for the feedback

      Any reason not to keep the old ones as well?

      Wouldn't that conflict with "New Incognito Window"?

    If the page you were using was an editor using emacs keybindings, you may be very annoyed that chrome is the only browser that those keybindings don't work in. what makes this even more annoying is that chrome makes it easy to create an application shortcut, so you can have a window that is just an online editor: so awesome! but it can't work with your keybindings! how do they say: oh snap! so close, yet so far away.

Note: Though I work on Chrome, I'm not on the UI team, so this is really just my personal opinion. I don't have much say in these areas. Hastebin should change their shortcut keys to something that isn't already in use by the platform. Overriding the established meanings of Ctrl+N and Ctrl+S is rude to users who rely on them. This is no different than a Mac application (for example) implementing special behavior in cmd+tab or cmd+~. You'd be confused.

This bug is such a disaster. It comes up all the time as the reason web apps will never be able to compete with native apps. Pressing Ctrl-W in your text editor and having the window immediately close is one of the worst possible user experiences.
