dMZX Forums: Emscripten: some key shortcuts are blocked by the browser -> Archived MegaZeux Bugs -> Tracker

Some notable key shortcuts used by MZX are intercepted by the browser, preventing some operations or making them harder to perform:

• F1 (supposed to open MZX help, instead opens browser help)
  
• F3 (supposed to save, browsers make this do the same thing as Ctrl+F)
  
• Alt+C (text entry char select, Opera likes to block this one for no apparent reason)
  
• Alt+D (file manager delete, browsers like to make this highlight the current URL)
  
• Alt+N (file manager new directory, Opera likes to block this one for no apparent reason)
  
• Alt+R (file manager rename, Opera likes to block this one for no apparent reason)
  
• THERE ARE CERTAINLY MORE
  
• HONESTLY JUST BLOCK THEM ALL

I think it'd be fine to not do anything about F5 (play game/switch bomb type), since the browser function of F5 is actually useful, P can be used to start gameplay, and Insert can switch bomb types during gameplay.

F11 also may be useful and isn't used outside of the editor, though this adds a special behavior to escape and may generally be inferior to the MZX built-in fullscreen.

Something that might also be fine to leave alone is the Alt behavior of opening the browser menu when pressed by itself. I don't really have a strong feeling about that one either way.

Updating status to: Fixed
Updating version to: 2.92b
Issue fixed in: 2.92b
Updating Introduced In Version to: 2.92b

I think pretty much all of these that matter were covered by GIT 0552ae29. If the editor ever gets enabled more will need to be added, though.
