I just don't get it why browsers allow websites to override their own hotkeys. I'm sure it even required extra code to be written to work correctly.
Linear hijacks Cmd+F for example, very helpfully providing some terrible thing instead of my browser's built-in search that works the same everywhere. (it's the same Linear that thinks you can't not want wysiwyg markdown editing)
- nsinreal 3y agoWell, for Ctrl+F there is sometimes a reason. Many websites uses technique called virtualization of lists. That boosts performance, but standard Ctrl+F doesn't works anymore properly
- BasieP2 3y agoI know of 2 websites that do this. 1. Confluence It's super annoying and takes up a lot of screen space 2. Nexus It simply kills it. You can use ctrl-f but it simply will not find text right in front of you.. Really i see no valid case
- rasz 3y agogithub code editor is a big one

- aitchnyu 3y agoThe good sites allow you to hit ctrl f twice to get browser's find feature.
