CTRL-T does not work in Firefox sometimes
Posted by Paritosh Bisi on December 10, 2008
Many of us might have faced the issue that, while running flex applications ctrl-t does not work in Firefox sometimes. That is because, when current page displayed has a flash frame and the frame is selected, ctrl-t is not passed to the browser from the frame so ctrl-T don’t work.
Having any solution or workaround for this, please do leave a comment.
Happy Browsing…:-)

Not only ctrl-t, most of the browser shortcut keys also will not work properly.

I also have faced this problem. If this happens I just go to “File” and press “New Tab”

This is not exactly a Bug.

Use Internet Explorer, which does not have this issue.

It may not be a bug,, but it sure is a frustrating “Feature”……..
If i have to move my hand and use mouse, then I might as well click on the “open a new tab” button……..

Yea Alexander, I am talking about Firefox only here.

if you can capture the iostream from the irq channel the keyboard is on you should be able to write a script with the “ctrl+t” key combination as its trigger which will assess the success of the command attempt and if not successful simulate the keystrokes of the nav path for the dropdown menu command that is the alternative to the keyboard shortcut. i write stuff like this in other apps that are not browsers so there has to be a programmatic solution that can be applied to firefox specifically. thoughts?

Or you could just use Alt+F+T; just a shortcut to the file->new tab menu

You’ve got to be kidding? “This is not exactly a bug?” How do you define “bug?” What mystifies me is that these highly paid programmers didn’t take the software through it’s paces before releasing it. Possibly because the board is pushing it to release before the fiscal quarter, but before it’s time.

Unfortunately, in my experience at least, if control + T doesn’t work then Alt + F + T will not work either.
