An annoying (feature) in joomla PDF Print E-mail
Written by Andrew Yager

OK. Joomla has some nice content editing features. And some that aren't. In the management interface, you can add a story. It has a nice WYSWYG editor interface provided by TineMCE. All good so far... but the keyboard shortcuts you would normally use (for example command + left arrow to move back a word) still have their browser meaning.

What this means is that when you try to go back a word, you actually go back a page. And wallah, come back to the original page and it's all gone. Sucky when you've just written a post (again) for the third time. Makes you want to cry really.

On the client side page for posting posts, you have a little more flexibility. When you try to leave a page, it puts up a nice alert telling you you can't, unless you use the buttons up the top. Now that's handy. But for the admin page - no such feature. One thought is maybe I could customise the Firefox keyboard shortcuts... that might work... but how to do that... oh... i don't know!
