Is there any reason to deviate from this? I don't think so, especially because
this has really rare usage, and furthermore, the option key is not available on

Well, I had a vision that Command+arrows would navigate to the
outermost thing you're on, so, paragraphs for left and right and
documents for up and down while Option+arrows would navigate on a more
local level of words and then modifier-less arrows navigate on
letters.
Obviously you don't share my vision. I respect your opinion even if I
disagree with it.
You never shared your vision AFAICT. However, what we really need are
configurable shortcuts, so that everyone can get what he wants (at the
minimum, a working solution for every keymap).
Keyboard navigation in websites does not suck, it works great. Just
because you don't use a feature doesn't mean it is unimportant.
Huh? You obviously have a different idea of greatness, then. I prefer to
use the keyboard whenever possible, and I rarely touch the mouse when I
work.
However, navigating web sites with the keyboard is just painful. You
either never use it, or you like pressing tab 20 times to get to the
link you want to. I for sure don't.
What if we made the shortcuts to go back and forwards a page in Web+
Control+Left and Control+Right instead of Command+Left and
Command+Right?
[...]
This is similar to another shortcut in Haiku, Ctrl+Tab, which follows
the ctrl/alt swapped convention of Windows convention as well.
I wouldn't mind that.
Now, I'm not sure if it's possible to make a shortcut that uses
control instead of command... but, if it is possible, I think that may
be the best compromise we can make.
Huh? BView::KeyDown().
Bye,
Axel.
