In-browser WYSIWYGs and lost work

I was just writing a blog post about pointing your own domain name at your OpenID but towards the end the whole lot got lost thanks to TinyMCE not supporting command+left cursor for jumping to the start of a line. This annoyed me.

Since I bought my first Mac in January last year, I've loved it and have totally switched to using my iMac as my main computer, but a couple of bits still annoy me and one is that the home key doesn't put the cursor to the start of the line like in Windows.

It may be more true to the Home and End keys, but it's less useful and instead you have to use command+left/right cursors.

Except in certain programs where you can use Home/End.

Or others where you have to use ctrl+a/e.

TinyMCE goes for the ctrl+a/e approach, which is fine. It's the same in the command line and gmail too. But whereas in the command line and gmail, using command+left/right does nothing (so if you forget and use Apple's standard method you're fine), I just found out TinyMCE doesn't stop that combo going through to the browser. Which makes you go back or forward a page. TinyMCE isn't a standard form field, so if you leave the page, your work is lost.

Argh!

Anyway, needed to get that off my chest. Feel much better now.
