Bad shortcut interaction on WIkipedia

Open azerty-svg opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Bug description Pressing Alt+shift+X on wikipedia:

  • Changes PopupOff mode according to what's selected in settings > 'Keyboard shortcut' (Default agressive) AND
  • Enables 'Go to random page' on Wikipedia (and any site using the same framework)

This is a problem because:

  • By default, keyboard shortcut switch is 'Agressive' mode
  • Which, on Wikipedia, removes the left panel used for navigation
  • I think it's quite common to use alt + shift + x on wikipedia

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Set the keyboard shotcut mode in advanced settings to "Agressive" (the default)
  2. Go to 'wikipedia.org' (or another MediaWIki-built site)
  3. Press: Alt +shift + X
  4. Bug happpens

Expected behavior Mode does not switches OR the user can workaround

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

PC

  • OS: Windows
  • Browser: Not browser-dependent
  • Version: Not relevant Possible workarounds
  • Make keyboard shortcut work only with Alt + X and not Alt + shift + X
  • Disable keyboard shortcut on Wikipedia (I think this is a bad idea)
  • Allow changing keyboard shortcut
