While editing in an input field, I’m so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it’s more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I’d love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating.

TL;DR: old man yelling at clouds.

    Yes, but that’s not always the case. For example, I use Portainer to drop into the shell of my Docker containers with a “terminal UI” and that tricks me into using Ctrl + W.
