I've gotten used to using ^w to delete a word in a console and ^backspace in my browser, but sometimes I mix these up. This can be frustrating when you're several paragraphs into a message in Gmail or on Slashdot.
Doing some research, it looks like there are several extensions that can disable the shortcut, but I think the best response would be to delay it. Maybe disable it for a few seconds after typing or change it to mimic what I'm used to. (Only problem here is that it would train me for failure when I use someone else's computer) This forum thread is the best discussion I've seen on the matter with several extensions recommended: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/Accidentally-Closed-Browser-Windo-t336647.html Keyconfig looks like the two most popular option extension for killing the shortcut. Lazarus or Textarea Cache might also do in a pinch, but prevention vs. cure, you know. :) I only post here because I figure some other nlugger might feel my pain and have already worked out a good solution. Otherwise, I think I'll have to learn how to modify a Firefox extension and revisit javascript in the near future. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
