backspace was one of the first lesser know shortcuts i learned and impressed plebeians with. soon i would learn Super + D to get to the desktop. great for emergency porn hiding.

who the gently caress uses backspace to go back in a browser tab??

i used that sometimes, but usually i just used rocker gestures in opera

then opera died, so i just started using the back and forward buttons on my mouse. as a bonus, they work in any program with the concept of "back" and "forward", not just browsers (with extensions)

if you're on a laptop you don't have back and forward mouse buttons so backspace is kind of nice. also you hit backspace all the time while typing so its not like its out of the way or anything.

i never click the back button because i don't care what's back there, it's behind me, in the past. always moving forwards

sorry man i've always used alt+left arrow to go back, because that's how it's always worked and the backspace key means something else

alt + arrow keys is the worst ever. using 2 keys when there is one that does the same thing is incredibly stupid.

also if you're using a modern browser like IE or Edge the backspace doesn't go back when you are in a text field.

i have two hands and one's on the left hand side of the keyboard, where alt is, and the other is on the right side of the keyboard, where the arrow keys are. it just makes sense.

but i guess you'd rather use one of these, huh

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
your hands have to move way further to reach alt and arrow keys than they do to hit backspace.

like do you have trouble hitting the enter key or something?

basically I don't have to move my palms to hit backspace but I would to hit alt or arrows.
