How widespread is Ctrl + K -> insert URL?? Because using it for something else could cause confusion (already encountered on other platforms).

- jeroenhd 3y agoI'm pretty sure that's the cross browser shortcut for "search with default search engine". At least on the browsers I usually encounter it is. These types of shortcut key overrides are why I've got them disabled in my browser by default.
- lucb1e 3y agoFor anyone else frustrated, a quick workaround is to do Ctrl+FK instead of Ctrl+K on offending websites. Focuses the browser UI's search input which then makes the Ctrl+K bubble up from the browser UI instead of the website's document tree.
- quasarj 3y agoI definitely use it, and you're right that's going to be confusing. But maybe worth it..
- mvdtnz 3y agoIt's very common across lots of platforms. Slack overrides it, and it irritates me (although I have adjusted to Slack's alternative which is that Cmd/Ctrl+V turns selected text into a link with the clipboard URL, which is actually really slick).
