Google, I"m looking at you. Google.com changes the behavior of the cursor keys in input boxes to a behavior inconsistent with the rest of the Web and the rest of host operating systems.
Moreso, Google will capture and change the expected behavior of the arrow keys for scrolling.
Today I noticed that Google.com has overrided backspace, a shortcut for "Back" on every browser, including Chrome.
This is not cool. I use a laptop and rely on consistent behaviors of keyboard navigation on the web. I don't want to have to have to learn different (shoddily) implemented navigation patterns every time someone decides to change something.
This is a bad trend in my opinion. What does HN think?
