I'm not saying this particular feature should or shouldn't be added, but "right here" seems a strange place to draw the line. I can see either (a) don't let webpage authors muck with it at all, or (b) give them enough control to make it do something intelligent. What we've got now is enough control to screw it up for the user, but not the right abstractions to do what authors really want anyway.
- randallsquared 17y agoAs long as focus is on the window, I've had few problems with the spacebar-to-page-down behavior in Firefox 3 or Safari 3. When it does break, I do notice, because that's my default paging mechanism, so I think it works way more often than not, even now.
