Would it be possible to add an option disabling keyboard shortcuts?

Firefox user here.

I was a bit surprised when I tried to get to the URL bar / search with Ctrl+L / Ctrl+K that those browser hotkeys were captured by PIeFed. I think it's nice to have keyboard shortcuts for those who prefer them, but it should probably be something that can be toggled off, or perhaps even opt-in by default.

Thanks for your time.

  • Yeah those shortcuts should only happen without Ctrl. I've made a note of this and will sort it out shortly.

    I've been waiting until the post teasers were rebuilt (finished last weekend) before doing this because there's a lot of interaction between the keyboard shortcuts and the teasers. With that done we can fix up the keyboard shortcuts.

  • Seems to be a bug. The shortcuts page mentions 'J', 'K', and 'L', not those keys with the Ctrl button also pressed. I can replicate this problem with Ctrl-J (should be 'Downloads' in Edge) and Ctrl-K (should be 'search with Bing') where PieFed is grabbing them for navigation instead. Not sure about Ctrl-L - it goes to the URL bar for me, but that might just be because I don't understand where 'L' is applicable for PieFed.
