Cmd-Left/Right Arrow triggering prev/next page action

TheOtherKai

Open any website
In the same tab, navigate to any other website with a text box (eg. YouTube)
Type something in that text box (eg. The search box in YouTube)
Press cmd-leftarrow

This will cause the previous page action to trigger, even when the previous page action is bound to cmd-left square bracket by default

Press cmd-rightarrow

Same thing but the next page action.

Focus the text box, type something but move your cursor somewhere other than the end
Press cmd-rightarrow

Nothing happens, presumably because it is trying to go to the next page when none exists, instead of going to the end of the line.

I expect either

The cmd-left/right arrow keys don't bind to next/previous page by default
An option to disable this behaviour

There is already a way to disable the behaviour by binding those two keys to something else, but that doesn't fix the problem because the intended action of cmd-left and cmd-right is to go to the start/end of the line of text.

Hmm, not sure I agree/understand. I think these are standard keybinds in most browsers, and I personally use them a lot.

Cmd-left and cmd-right only go to the start/end of line of text if you are currently editing text in an input, and Orion respects this.

HUGE problem for me, because I'll be in a text box, hit cmd+left to go to the start of the line, and it will insta go back to the last page, making me lose what i was writing and anything i had on the page. only started with the latest RC.

PLEASE fix this. absolutely game breaking.

this is not standard behaviour, i've never had this problem happen in any other browser.

In Safari on Mac, command left/right on my MacBook goes back or forward a page. But when I'm working in a text field, this combination causes the cursor to jump left or right within the text field. In Orion however, the page back/forward is still active, which is very annoying when you're just typing text.

Is there a way to disable / prevent this?

Hey! I have flagged this discussion as a duplicate of another one. The team is aware of the issue, and it will be fixed soon. In the meantime, your best bet is to temporarily downgrade to a previous version of Orion where cmd+left/right works as expected. You can download the previous version of Orion from https://cdn.kagi.com/updates/15_0/133.zip

If you are not on macOS Sequoia, please replace the 15 in the URL with your macOS version. If you have any further question, please don't hesitate to ask.

laiz Ok, sorry, I hadn't seen that. But good that it has the attention :-)

Command + Left Arrow or Command + Right Arrow doesn’t move the text cursor to the start or end of the line (which is the expected macOS behavior). Instead, these shortcuts make the browser go backward or forward in page history.

move the text cursor to the start or end of the line

Orion seems to have mapped Cmd+Left to navigate back, and Cmd+Right to navigate forward, despite these being the system wide shortcuts for moving the cursor to the beginning or end of a line. This means when writing in a textfield like this one, and hitting Cmd+Left to move the cursor, Orion goes back to the previous page. Thanks to this, this is actually the second time I've typed all this out, because I accidentally did it a few minutes ago and lost everything I'd written here.

Cmd+Left should move the cursor to the beginning of the line, Cmd+Right should move it to the end. It should definitely not navigate the user away from the text they're in the middle of writing.
