Backspace meaning "go back" in browsers

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2004/12/19]

What fucktard decided that hitting "backspace" should cause your browser to
go back a page? There are ALREADY NAVIGATION SHORTCUTS. (In my case
[Firefox], Alt-Left Arrow means "go back".) The only time that I ever use
the backspace key like that is in error. There are lots of different kinds
of mistaken ways to hit it, too, like typing in a text field and
accidentally changing the focus to the rest of the page or just pressing it
by error because on my keyboard it's RIGHT NEXT TO THE FUCKING PAGE DOWN
BUTTON. Gah.
