can't type # about dabblet HOT 10 CLOSED

The keyboard shortcut for the results tab is Cmd or Ctrl + 3. Is it possible that AltGr triggers that combination? I just tried my AltGr and nothing happened. Are you pressing it on its own or with some other key (3 maybe?)

from dabblet.

Yes. It's w/ Alt gr + 3
the Alt gr can have the same action has cmd?
I'm on win 7 64bits btw.

I'll test more w/ copy paste # tomorrow.

Oh damn, Chrome probably sets evt.metaKey to true for AltGr. Bad, bad Chrome (and whatever other UA does that) :(

I'll try to think of a way to solve this.

Just tested with firefox 8 at work, and same issue when I type altGr + 3 it's get me on the result tab.
I'll type alt + 35 to test ;)

Even though I don't have an azerty keyboard to test, since more than one person mentioned this issue, I'm marking it as "confirmed". Still no idea how to fix though. There has to be a way to detect azerty keyboards. Otherwise the only solution is customizing the shortcuts, which is a planned feature anyway.

On windows ctrl + 3 get the result tab has expected.

I've made some tests here :

http://www.quirksmode.org/js/keys.html

and it seems that on a french azerty keyboard on windows atlGr is the same has pressing "ctrl + alt", the key has the same code and same event
has pressing ctrl + alt (which I had no idea)

Then the way to solve is perhaps to test that pressing "ctrl + key + 3" don't give the result tab.
Because btw when I press "ctrl + space +3" or "ctrl + tab + 3" the shortcut style works and I'm on the resutls tab.

Don't know how you can correct these, but know I understand why it happens.
But I think it is not related to the metaKey (used for Mac cmd I think) because it appears that this Key is not working on windows
referring to http://www.quirksmode.org/dom/w3c_events.html#keyprops

Hope this can help.

The problem is that you can't really test that kind of interaction to see if evt.metaKey or evt.ctrlKey is true when AltGr is pressed. :(

I don't know what metaKey is. but AltGr is same as pressing CTRL+ALT

This works fine for this issue (I've tested the fix on localhost) ! Thanks codler
