that's it. it is plain wrong to steal users' shortcuts. By default,
please disable this bug... feature. I don't know what Alt-A now does
but it surely does not "Select All" any longer :-(
"Select All" is Ctrl+A, not Alt+A, and is not overridable with website
shortcuts, nor is any other direct keyboard shortcut (at least in
Firefox), because they all involve Ctrl.
The only things that are interfered with are the menus. I figure that
this is a minor issue. Keyboard freaks tend to use direct keyboard
shortcuts instead of going through the menus (e.g. "Ctrl+D" instead of
"Alt+B, A"), while non-keyboard freaks tend to use the mouse anyway.
Those that really really insist on using the menus through the keyboard
can still use the workaround I described (press Alt and release it, then
press B). It's not even any more key presses; it's only a matter of
getting used to it.
What can I do to get rid of them?
I think it is possible with JavaScript (using
[[User:Yourusername/monobook.js]]), but I'm not an expert at this.
Someone who is should probably reply and explain it.
