[FX.php List] [OT] (mostly) CTRL-N in browser

[Steve Winter]

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply... that's much as I feared would be the case, i.e. bad
luck, can't be done...

And yes, Exchange web client is definitely using ActiveX, and you're quite
right that I don't want to go anywhere near that...!!

I guess my only option is to locate key combinations which no browser
currently recognises, but at that point there's no point, since I won't be
able to use the regular FM ones like CTRL-N, CTRL-S etc so I should just
save myself the grief... wasn't really critical, just a 'nice to have' cool
feature...

Thanks
Steve

There's no way around that Steve. The browser intercepts all calls first and
then passes them to the JavaScript interpreter as appropriate. If your
keystroke or combination already invokes an action in the browser, it's
already happened before JavaScript gets to see it. The Outlook Web Client
probably uses ActiveX in IE to manage it, and those features are probably
not available to other browsers.
