On web pages with (pulldown) select boxes, what happens when you use the keyboard is difficult to describe in abstract terms, so I'll use an example. If you visit any webpage that uses a select box to choose country, then hitting the letter "C" will cause cursor to be positioned to first country starting with a "C". If you press "C" again, the next country is selected. If you keep tapping the "C" key, you effectively scroll through all the countries starting with "C", restarting at the first one when you reach the end. Konqueror appears to have a feature whereby if you tap the "C" key twice rather quickly (like a double-click, but on the keyboard), you are taken back to the first country starting with "C". This might appear to be a nice feature to go back to the beginning, but I'd like to turn it off. We have developed forms for data entry and some of our staff enter data rather quickly - they would like to get to the second or third value rather quickly, but if they type too fast, the cursor does not leave the first choice. Telling staff to work slower is not an attractive option.

Is it possible to disable this double-keytap feature?


Apparently there is no setting to control this behaviour. There are two other browsers on the MDK9.1 cdrom's. Both of them (Mozilla & Galeon) behave even more badly than Konqueror on this problem.

I've not heard from anyone with 9.2 yet...
