Ah the classic Linux community response to any complaint.
The default either actively ignores what every other software does or purposely uses something other than everything else for no apparent reason.
Someone brings up the fact that it makes no sense why it’s different and how it makes the user experience worse.
Someone else recommends a half baked solution that still doesn’t really solve the problem and doesn’t address the fact that the specific weirdness being default is the issue. So it ignores the actual complaint and only provides a half solution.
Nothing is ever done to address the issue and it remains for decades constantly annoying new users and being one of thousands of small issues that turn potential curious new users away as they accumulate.
Interesting. And yet it’s still incomplete. F6 and Alt+D both do the same thing (focus the address bar), so there’s at least one line missing and definitely at least one column.
You can change that in about:keyboard in the new Firefox versions
Absolutely, all behavior can be changed somehow. But the default defines the product :)
Ah the classic Linux community response to any complaint.
Proposing a fix is better than no fix? I didn’t know it was possible, and now I’m looking into it.
Changing the default is a social issue, so of course it’s more difficult than changing one’s current setting.
The fuck you want us to do about it? We don’t have commit access to firefox’s codebase.
Why is that persons response considered the community response?
Ive been using Linux for 20 years so… Can we change that shortcut please?
