Frequently-Asked Questions
Can I disable the backspace key?
IE provides a handy helpful feature nobody asked for: the backspace
key is a shortcut or hot key for the Back button. It moves you to
the previous page you visited.
This can cause you to be logged out of TC, if you're not careful.
It can be pretty annoying until you learn what to do.
To answer the question: no, the hot keys can't be disabled in IE.
Thanks, Microsoft. But, there are some things to do which make it
easier to deal with.
First, be careful not to click outside the TC applet. If the browser
doesn't have "focus", the hot key isn't enabled. Especially,
make sure you click inside the commands field, and you'll be fine.
Second, and especially if you're hand-eye challenged like me, just
use Netscape instead. Navigator works just fine with TC, and doesn't
have the annoying backspace hot key. Web pages load a little more
slowly, but once you've got the page with the TC applet up, there's no
speed difference. Version 6.2 seems pretty stable.
We hope this helps!
