Real conversation. I'm looking around for Alan Funt. I can't even imagine their reaction if it had been an octothorpe. [1]
#aggressive #punctuation #trigger #ellipsis #octothorpe #ampersand #hyphen #caret #parentheses #brackets #braces #asterisk
[1] Why yes, Firefox spellchecker, when I typed "octothorpe" I clearly really meant to type "#clotheshorse".
In Safari, tabbing to a non-editable element destroys the current selection range.
That's bad enough, but get this -- the reset has *already happened* when the `focus` event fires, so we can't snapshot the data because it's already lost. And yet the resulting `selectionchange` event **hasn't** fired yet, so we can't use that event to filter-out the change.
Are you fucking kidding me??
Writing #javascript to handle #caret browsing is interesting.
Since `keydown` only fires for targets that can be `activeElement`, the event target from caret navigating plain text is always <body>.
However you can identify which element contains the caret, by evaluating the range data, which you can also do from `selectionchange` events.
And get this -- Safari still fires those events, even though it doesn't support caret browsing ... because it actually does, it just doesn't show the caret!
