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.

    Not with CTRL + W

    It “force closes” the tab. Correct me if I’m wrong.

      Hmm just tested cause I was curious. I guess it depends on the site?

      Firefox and chromium still prompted me with “are you sure” using CTRL+W on gmail and lemmy but closed without confirmation on Twitter
