I believe that many managed to notice that Habrahabr abandoned the old keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl + arrows to scroll pages in tapes and hubs
( Ctrl + β to go forward to the page,
Ctrl + β to go back to the page) in favor of
Alt + arrow keys ( Alt + β to go to the page forward,
Alt + β to go to the page back).
This change seems to me inconvenient for two reasons.
Firstly, in several popular browsers (for example, in Mozilla Firefox), the
Alt + keyboard shortcuts
are used to go back and forth through the browsing history: the
Alt + β combination is perceived as the βForwardβ command
(as the βββ button on the browser toolbar) , therefore, it either does not work, or it does not work correctly (it does not scroll through the pages of the tape or hub, but proceeds to a blog entry from which the browser just returned to the tape or hub after clicking
on the "β" button). The
Alt + β combination is perceived as the βBackβ command
(as the βββ button on the browser toolbar), therefore it also does not work correctly.
')
Secondly, I use
the Birman layout , in which the right Alt key is redefined. Therefore, the keyboard shortcuts
Alt + arrows must be typed with the left Alt (two hands), whereas the keyboard shortcuts
Ctrl + arrows I could use one (right) hand.
In addition, for visitors to those sites where the
Ctrl + arrow keys are used for paging pages (and such are, for example,
the search results of Yandex
or the idiot Lebedev), the habrahrabrovsky combination will turn out to be unusual.
