Re: Disable Firefox's Command-Arrows page jump shortcuts
This hint is not really needed. The author is using the wrong key commands. You shouldn't be using CMD-Arrow to move around in text boxes. "Wrong" says who? Cmd-Left Arrow has always moved to the beginning of the line (and Cmd-Right Arrow to the end of the line) in the "classic" Mac OS and in Mac OS X. There's no reason why users shouldn't expect standard Mac OS X key bindings to work everywhere; this is clearly a bug in Firefox.
Re: Disable Firefox's Command-Arrows page jump shortcuts
Thanks for that great link to the Apple Human Interface Guidelines. I assume that holding down Fn on small Apple keyboards, while pressing Left Arrow or Right Arrow, will in fact send a program the keycodes for Home and End just as the key labels show. In other words: I assume programs do not need to detect Fn themselves. This makes me wonder why even Apple's TextEdit does not follow the guidelines for those keys...
I also find it odd that Apple has introduced new keyboard layouts on 2nd or 3rd generation MacBooks and the aluminum keyboards, using F3 for Exposé and F4 for Dashboard -- while the guidelines still only mention F9-F12 as being reserved. And finally, I never understood why Apple cannot sell the US keyboard layout in Europe -- not even when specifically asked to do so. I know, layout and keycodes are not the same thing. But here in the Netherlands we get a very tiny Return key, and an odd location of the backtick, to the left of the Z-key. |
