Shortcut help

GIMH · 15-03-2010, 01:30 PM

So, after years of Internet Explorer, I got the Windows update telling me all about all the other browsers out there. My IE has been crashing a lot lately and even though there are loads of things I love about IE8 I felt it was time for Firefox.

Well as if losing my dropdown homepage menu wasn't a blow enough, I press Alt + S after finishing a CW post and...some menu at the top of the page opens. To quote Uppercut, WHAT THE ACTUAL ......??? So, um, is there a quick post keyboard shortcut for Firefox? Because I am 100% serious, if there isn't then I'd rather put up with a crash every half hour.

PLEASE HELP ME.

I just actually pressed Alt + S after writing that. OMG.

edit - should point out for those that didn't know that on IE Alt + S is a quick post shortcut on this, and most other, forums

Ditto. And it works on IE6 as well.

Submit form shortcut; has been there for ages. Would not be in the least surprised if it was in IE4.

Doesn't work on every forum mind you. Have found it not working on any ezboard/yuku ones

On Explorer if you press Alt + S it is a shortcut for actually pressing the submit reply button. I like to use the mouse as little as possible.

Always used to press TAB-TAB-SPACEBAR myself TBH. Still works juuuuuuuuuust fine actually.

Cider

In fact, the Higher Education fair I was at today was just a 10 minute walk from a cider farm, couldn't slip that passed the teachers though.

Tab-Tab-Space, wtf?

****, who says you don't learn things on CW? Never knew that at all..

Edit: And FMD it works. Thanks Corrin and Dicko. You're now up there with Kevin McCloud in my top three living Englishmen.

Prince EWS · 15-03-2010, 05:23 PM

Yeah, works on anything that's a form.
