Ive lost about four posts by accidently hitting 'shift'+ 'delete'. This has left me abandoning about 4 post and loosing about four hours of real time if not more. Please save progess in some way that if I make a very basic mistake like hitting shift+'delete' button (on mac FF) I should not lose my post.

Blah

While you're at it, would it be possible to deal with the Command + left-arrow problem? I've lost a number of posts because of that one, too.

Steps to reproduce:

On a Mac, make sure that you can go to a previous page by hitting the back button.
Reply to a post
Type something in and then press Command + left-arrow

Expected behavior:

Cursor should go to the beginning of the current line (just like it does in a textarea).

Current behavior:

Page goes back 1 in the history (as if you pressed the back button)

thanks,

Since we're bumping issues in this forum, just wanted to make sure the "Command + left-arrow problem" is still being actively pursued. If you'd like me to split it off into a new topic, I'd be happy to do that. Otherwise, I'll try to wait patiently.

thanks,

Possibly a related issue, I have lost a couple of posts because I clicked Follow this Topic with a reply in progress. I have learned the hard way that this reloads the page without warning, losing the post, so I don't do it that way anymore.

I don't want to be too prescriptive about a solution, but if there was an onunload handler for the page it could prompt the user whether they wanted to navigate away from the page with a reply in progress.

Another related issue:

Setting the thread status or moving a thread while you're in the middle of working on a reply will also cause you to lose the post you've been working on.
