Keyboard shortcut remapping on vB ?

When creating a thread or replying to one vB has a keyboard shortcut that's by default ALT + S which is like clicking on "Post Reply", etc.

I had been using it for a while but recent versions of Firefox use the keyboard short ALT + S for the history tab in the menu. Is it possible to remap the keyboard shortcut of vB ?

I had tried to use it a few times, without success. So I gave up. But it would be a nice feature, for those of us who like keyboard shortcuts.

If you hover over the Post Quick Reply button it will show you Alt + S.
If you hover over the Go Advanced button it will show you Alt + X.

It kind of crashed the firefox tab the first time, trying again... here is what's going on:
Quote:
To submit a post, just press Alt+S (in older versions of Firefox and IE) or Alt+Shift+S in Firefox 1.5 and above.
Ok, so there goes your fix, works perfectly and now I have a new useful keyboard shortcut to add to my list

You aren't 'testing' Didou.... you are simply just increasing your postcount.


HRMMM just a quick check.....it doesn't appear to work in Opera.
