In other | words, when you search for something, the scrollbar will give an | idea how many results there are, and where on the page rhey are | located. | | On another note, the comment uses IntelliJ as an example. Wow, | that was 17 years ago! Happy to see my favorite editor be around | for so long. | smitty1e wrote: | > 17 years ago | | "Nearly half my age," said Emacs. | [deleted] | w-m wrote: | Not to get too greedy, but maybe do the 21 year old "Use native | context menus on Mac OS" next? | | https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34572 | pseudalopex wrote: | Why is jira.mozilla.com private? | forgotmypw17 wrote: | Also, why is there a jira.mozilla.com at all, and why is | there a jira.mozilla.COM? | [deleted] | flukus wrote: | Maybe just do native UI's completely, especially now dropping | XUL has broken everything. | cle wrote: | Looks like it's in progress. Also native "rubberband" scrolling | in macOS is in progress as well. Excellent! | batisteo wrote: | I'd look for a ticket about the poor contrast of matches, either | green or magenta. | cassepipe wrote: | Fantastic. There's hope. (Greed incoming beware). What about | WebMIDI support for music web apps like Pianojacq? | nonbirithm wrote: | Obligatory dogpile, but I'm hoping for the day you can disable | Ctrl-Q to prevent accidentally closing the browser with a single | keystroke. It's impossible to do on Linux. | IshKebab wrote: | Yeah Chrome's "hold to quit" feature is genius. I wish VSCode | had it too. | scotu wrote: | I'm on mac, but I used to have the same problem also in other | apps: I use a system wide app that makes you long press cmd-Q | to quit any app (with an allow/block list): "SlowQuitApp". Just | in case you never thought to try to find something similar | (assuming ctrl-q is a common shortcut in linux, I forgot) | smartbit wrote: | On Fedora Chrome disables Ctrl+Q and Chrome can only be closed | by going through the menu. Maybe Chromium implements it too, | then you could find out the trick in the source. | graton wrote: | That has bit me so many times. Especially since Q is right next | to W. Trying to close a tab with Ctrl-W and accidentally hit Q | :( | FreeFull wrote: | It's partially fixed now, it'll show the "Quit and Close Tabs" | dialogue now if you check "Warn you when quitting the browser" | in the preferences. | nfoz wrote: | IMO this should be a feature of the window-manager, not the | application. But that requires a change in the interface | between window-managers and applications, to allow the window- | managers to be more heavy-handed. Which I've wanted for a very | long time. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2021-02-24 23:00 UTC)
