Can't type an @ symbol in the forums from a mac

Who thought that was a good idea. don't understand macs sometimes.

I think this forum may be using @frissdiegurke's plugin that utilises keyboard shortcuts. Might be a conflict there.

[frissdiegurke]

It's correct that my plugin causes this issue.
Since I don't have any more cross-browser-information about keys than the keycode and which mod-keys are pressed it's impossible to find a clean way of work-around for such bad matches.

I've tried my best not to get any conflicts with US/UK layouts and most popular modern browsers, it'd be much effort and result in less intuitive keybindings to support any layouts (I guess yours is german mac-layout?).
Since the key-bindings are completely configurable within ACP the admins of german boards may choose to change this...

The only (easy) way to completely solve this on plugin-side I can think of would be adding an input-mode
Any opinions?

While we're here, I believe @psychobunny also experienced much trauma when he wrote 90% of a post, then attempted to select the address bar on firefox with the Alt-D shortcut, and watched in horror as NodeBB promptly discarded his post

Edit: Ironically, this works fine on Chrome, Ctrl-D bookmarks this page as intended

Edit: Ah, it's Alt-D, edited.

Didn't we tell him once to use one of the many other keybindings to go into address bar

I just tried with the text above and it really discarded without a dialog to ensure...
What are the minimum requirements to open this dialog, maybe they can get more soft?

[julian]

It's been a while, but the requirements to open the discard confirmation dialog is simply "if the text area has been edited", so it does seem like a bug on our end...

¬_¬ Interesting.

F6 is my chosen shortcut of choice for selecting the Address Bar.

[julian]

Ctrl-L, for me, and I really don't like when apps I use override that (I'm lookin' at you, Google Docs and Ghost...)

You guys suck.

@psychobunny wants the Ctrl+D.
