#29113 [Bgs->Csd]: Alt-S is used by German IExplorer

ID: 29113 User updated by: hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de -Summary: Alt-S is used be IExplorer Reported By: hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de -Status: Bogus +Status: Closed Bug Type: Website problem Operating System: Windows PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: I guess you should take it completely out then, as the article you posted concludes as preferrable solution, too. I see Alt-S is not even listed in the article, so it seems futile to search a "free" key. Alternatively, I think, in the context, Alt-F, overriding the file menu access, might make a sense as a Feature. In the context of browsing that pages it is very rare that you access the file menu. If you know Alt-F, you know Ctrl-S, too, and what else would you need from the file menu? (It's book marks (Favorites) in German by the way). Alt-S, you remember, was an address field short cut, very likely to be used in the context - simply to go somewhere else after reading. Nough said on this. Thanks for taking the time, Henning Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 10:53:40] goba@php.net Well, it is very hard to find a 'proper' access key as even if you only consider English versions of popular browsers, a lot of keys are already used. See http://www.wats.ca/resources/accesskeysandkeystrokes/38 Now add in all different language variant and you can get an idea of why we are not choosing some less obvious combination. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-02 01:37:19] hd dot phpsup at aimail dot de Obviously, yes, with english browsers I guess it is (I use a German one, there it's Alt-D). Well, sorry, so Alt-F won't work either. I would maintain the original point, to change it to SOMETHING else, though, as Alt-S is really the only shortcut I press without thinking. German IE has Alt-S, -D, -B, -A, -F, -X, -? defined for Menus and the Address field.

Searching is Ctrl-F usually anyway so why don't use Alt-F for this! --- Verbose: Sorry, yes, sorry once more I DO use IE, I know I be burned alive for that sin. But then. I do web sites for ordinary users. Anyway, php is a delight and the site is matching up to that, so I thought this was below expectation. You forced me to use the mouse! cheers, Henning ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29113&edit=1
