Tangentially, can someone on the W3C please fix the sorry state of key bindings across UAs?
Cross-browser idiosyncrasies are finally improving...except for webapp key bindings. Alt-F is taken in IE, Ctrl-whatever is taken in other UAs. Or an extension like (the awesome) vimium conflicts with some key bindings, so you have to disable it all together.
To the point where Asana uses tab as their short cut key. Tab! Wtf! "tab-p" for project. Bizarre!
But I guess I can't blame them, as I wouldn't be surprised if it's the only shortcut modifier that wasn't taken yet across all UAs.
I admittedly have no solutions to propose, so am just ranting about an understandably hard problem...but it would be nice if someone came along and fixed this. Please. :-)
- hayksaakian 13y agoIsn't tab commonly bound to the meta key? I don't personally do it, but its not unheard of ------
- Groxx 13y agoI think that Asana's aren't actually tab and p, they're tab then p. Or at least that's true for all the ones I use. Given that, tab just takes focus out of whatever default / current text field the cursor is in, so 'p' is unambiguously a command and not a letter.
