Add backspace and shift-backspace for back/forward #424
Conversation
This is somewhat flakey; pages can prevent us from triggering the backspace listener.
Could you expand more on the types of problems you think would come up from this happening with Backspace? |
I guess it's pretty unlikely that someone would override Backspace, but I'm wondering whether users have shortcuts mapped to Shift+Backspace that we would be overriding. see #351 (comment) |
|
I'm about to fix #378 which will conflict with this, so merging for now. can revert later if there are complaints. |
Add backspace and shift-backspace for back/forward
|
Is there a way to disable this? |
|
@mikeal i honestly think we should just remove this shortcut; iirc chrome is doing so due to very low usage stats |
|
@diracdeltas I'm 100% for that. It's the first browser features I disable on a new install and I'm pretty sure it is a crazy IE relic. |
|
sounds good. if people complain about it, we can add support for the official Google-maintained chrome extension. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/go-back-with-backspace/eekailopagacbcdloonjhbiecobagjci |

removed |

There has been two support tickets questioning the removal of backspace. Have provided workarounds for the users but there might be an increase in users asking to include this feature again https://linkbubble.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/6661 @diracdeltas Can we include the Chrome extension for 1.0 if start seeing an increase in support tickets on this? |
|
One more from support https://linkbubble.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/6692 |
|
+1 from #5781. |
|
How can I enable this again? The zendesk is not visible. |
|
@ksjogo we've kept this functionality removed... but when extensions are better supported, you'll be able to use the extension that @diracdeltas mentions here: |
|
As #6156 was closed, indirectly referencing this issue via #5781 and #5491, I'm here. So far this issue and #1302 (plus a UI problem I submitted via email which doesn't have an associated issue on Github that I can find so far) are keeping me from setting Brave as my default browser. This is highly unfortunate, since this issue reads like only one platform has an issue with it so every platform has to lose it. And there's apparently some sort of workaround but it's not available to those of us who can't access those Zendesk tickets. 👎 |

@lewellyn thanks for calling out the work-around being in the ticket system (private); here's the text for that:
Since you feel strongly, let me re-open your issue and perhaps add some other acceptance criteria |
|
If this goes back in can it please be configurable because a lot of people hate it :) |
|
Backspace nor Alt+Left arrow (my usual method in browsers) doesn't work for me (ThinkPad X220/Ubuntu 16.04). |
|
@da0ist alt + left/right arrow was unintentionally broken last release, we have a fix for that 😄 We're working on our next release now |
|
Great, I was about to give up on Brave! My wife says it's good to try new
things, but ALT+Left arrow is hard wired into my brain!

Actually, one feature I am used to using when surfing reddit, for example,
is for links I've visited to look visually different so I know I've been to
them? Is this something I can enable? Right now, links look the same before
and after first click.

No, but I was told if I had any other issues to reply to this thread.

This is somewhat flakey; pages can prevent us from triggering
the backspace listener. Not sure if it's worth merging now given
the complaints about page/local shortcuts overriding system
shortcuts on OS X.
