I encountered difficulty trying to use the terminal when attempting to enter commands. For example if I tried to type 'ls' Firefox captured the #\l and swapped tabs to the left. If I tried to type 'python' Firefox captured the #\h and swapped tabs to the right. If I tried to type 'ruby', Firefox captured the #\u and scrolled the page up.

Unlike just about every other website that captures keypresses with Javascript, this might be one where it has a legitimate reason...at least when the terminal is running.

Good luck.

I'm sorry you're experiencing difficulties. Could you let me know the operating system and version which you are using?

What do the "#\" symbols in your report mean?

#\a is the character 'a'.

As mentioned, I am using Firefox.

Sorry for posting twice in a week, but I had to take the site down half-way through the first ShowHN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14044541

Very nicely done.

Even as a simple private browsing option, it's great.

Try going to https://ca0.tux.io if the European site is too busy due to this ShowHN.
