825425 - SUMO KB article editor (ACE) overrides default Firefox keyboard shortcuts

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(support.mozilla.org :: Knowledge Base Software, task)

Description

[[:Aleksej]]

The editor SUMO KB is using for article text, ACE <http://ace.ajax.org/>, overrides Firefox shortcut keys, at least these:
* Ctrl+t — instead of opening a new tab, it does “transpose-chars” (swaps two characters and moves the caret forward);
* Ctrl+f — instead of opening Firefox'es featureful Find bar, it opens a single-feature modal find bar of the editor.

Another issue I have with the editor, but don’t know if it can be fixed without replacing the editor completely, is the inability to copy text from the editor (not from the diff etc): the shortcut keys don’t work, and the context menu doesn’t recognize that text is selected.

Assuming this is an ACE issue I'm not sure what we could do about it. There is always the option to turn this off, but beyond that I don't think it makes sense to track this in Bugzilla. Please reopen if you think otherwise.
