Darn that Delete key
Authored by: thinkyhead on Jan 13, '03 02:59:51PM

I'm disabling the Delete key shortcut right away. It's all-too-easy to think you're pressing backspace in a text field or the address line and go back 5 pages before realizing. (Lack of evidence notwithstanding, some of us on the web actually do use the backspace key.)

Certainly. IE on (at least on Windows) sometimes missunderstands a backspace in a text field as meaning "go back in browser history". This is truly annoying.
