I don't know if there is, but there should be. And this should be set
in stone in our UI checklist. It's the #1 gripe I have about web
sites. Oh thanks for losing that last hour of work!
I can't tell you how many websites have a hidden keyboard shortcut
that interferes with, say C-a or C-e (you know what I mean Karl :).
You can't turn them off and they do something that loses your work.
That muscle memory is so deep /I/ can't turn it off. There are many
dents on my keyboard from the frustrated pounding whenever that happens.
