crtl+alt+backspace is a bad choice for keyboard shortcut -> kills linux graphical server #67

Open nbald opened 3 years ago

nbald commented 3 years ago

Crtl+Alt+Backspace is a "magic" shortcut on some linux/unix systems, just like Crtl+Alt+Del on Windows.

Depending on the machine configuration, pressing those keys can terminate the graphical desktop session, killing every open applications and losing all unsaved data.

See here for more details: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace

This keyboard shortcut is proposed in Protonmail for "delete current draft". ctrlaltbackspace

I think no app should use Crtl+Alt+Backspace. This should remain a system shortcut only.
