    • I was just reading the article The Hidden Secrets of the Fn Key on TidBITS, and found there are a couple shortcuts listed there that don't work in Orion. In all fairness, there are several other applications where they don't work, but they do work in many applications, not just in Safari and other Apple applications.

      To be specific, these don't work in Orion: fn-M to access the menu, fn-F to toggle fullscreen mode. The rest seem to work. Well, fn-D to start dictation doesn't for me, but perhaps I have dictation turned off in settings, since I am not interested in that feature.

      I don't know what it takes to support these shortcuts. I am pretty sure the mechanism is quite different from the usual case of regular (not fn-key-using) shortcuts.

      Since these shortcuts seem to be pretty universal among apps, and are in fact not user configurable in the way of usual shortcuts, users may expect them to work in Orion the same way they work many other places.

      • Steps to reproduce:
        <Include steps to reproduce the bug; Did you try using Compatibility mode? If applicable, does Safari behave in the same way?>
        Safari/Edge does not behave like this.
        Compatibility mode does not fix this

        Reproduction: https://fetch-bug-orion.vercel.app/
        Type a sentence into the search bar. It stops responding midway through the sentence until all the requests are done
        Code for reproduction: https://github.com/muqshots/fetch-bug-orion/blob/main/pages/index.js

        Expected behavior:
        <What you expected to happen?>
        Does not lag

        Orion, OS version; hardware type:
        Version 0.99.110-beta (WebKit 613.1.12)
        macOS Monterey

        • I'd like to be able to quickly erase all content and settings stored by the browser.

          The button would be under Orion in the menu bar, and be called "Erase All Content and Settings", in keeping with the verbiage on iOS and macOS. A popup would confirm that you want to erase everything totally. Perhaps a password would be required, but maybe just one additional click.

          The next time Orion is opened, it should think that it is the very first time it has been opened by that user, and there should be zero trace (within the context of the application itself) of it having been used before.
