While editing in an input field, I’m so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it’s more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I’d love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating.
TL;DR: old man yelling at clouds.
Doesn’t your browser warn you before closing a tab where you have entered text in an input field?
I am not entirely sure, but I think it depends on the page if it warns if text is in an input and you want to leave the page.
Yes, but that’s not always the case. For example, I use Portainer to drop into the shell of my Docker containers with a “terminal UI” and that tricks me into using Ctrl + W.
