|
|
I'm using Mozilla Firefox with the Adblock extension. Ctrl-shift-a is supposed to bring up a list of all blockable elements. I see a capital A in the status bar, and when I let go of the keys, it shows "Text found: [strange box symbol here]". I think Firefox believes I'm trying to enter a non-English character.
Does anyone know how to get this to work? |

I'm unfamiliar with the adblock extension, but it sounds like your window manager or server is intercepting the keystring and inserting a special character for your keymap. The result is that Firefox sees a special character and assumes you are using the typeahead find feature. _________________ "No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious" -- George Bernard Shaw |

That's exactly what's happening. If I turn off the find feature, I don't get the message. Of course ctrl-shift-a still doesn't work, and then I can't use type-ahead searching either.
It used to work correctly, but I reinstalled Gentoo, and now it doesn't work anymore. There must be some setting that'll fix this. |

I can't tell you what to change, since the ctrl+shift+a shows the same behavior on my Fedora machine at work. When I get home, I can try it again with my Gentoo install. _________________ "No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious" -- George Bernard Shaw |
