GitHub (and GitLab, and Linear if I recall, and others) overriding Ctrl-F (or /, which Tridactyl needs) is a crime against humanity. I know GitHub claimed they'd stop, but I still was getting weird interactions not long ago (then again, the entire recent UI redesign of GitHub drives me absolutely insane to the point that I have zero positive things to say about it, so maybe I'm just no longer their target audience).

I haven't heard any discussion about it, and second your take on the redesign. I find it harder to use, prone to the sort of unfriendly-ness discussed in this thread, and more resource intensive and/or less responsive.

I feel you, I do. I am a simple GitHub user with simple needs, and GitHub's latest redesign is a giant leap toward unnecessary complexity. I don't need multiple panels and all the geegaws. My use of GH in terms of what I need to do for my employer has become much more difficult lately. And the whole search debacle is the worst. I absolutely depended on that feature, and they somehow managed to Nerf it!

  The absolute worst thing is the basic code view. If I accidentally click inside it, a text cursor shows up. Ctrl+F is then hijacked to do... previously nothing! I need to find some piece of unclickable chrome to click on and remove the "focus" from the code view, then I can Ctrl+F to find what I'm looking for with the browser's page search. This is absolutely infuriating, and the crux of it all is that I can't even edit the code that is taking focus and hijacking shortcuts! The goggles do nothing!

You can remove the shortcuts pretty easily with a userscript, see lines ~410-440 here for inspiration: https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de57da189c6d6d4783baeac569c/src/content.ts#L413 https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/2eaba7e4ceec6de5...
