Will discord (web) stop completely taking over Ctrl+Shift+T before 2025?

YES

The retarded engineers at discord decided to not give a fuck about clashing shortcut with browser (Crtl+Shift+T is reopen last closed tab on basically every single browser). Will they realize and change this?

Resolves YES if at any point before 2025 (UTC), when I press Ctrl+Shift+T on most places on the logged in discord web UI, the shortcut is able to pass to the browser* and reopen the last closed tab.

*By default I will use the newest version of Firefox, but if Firefox remapped the shortcut, I will try in order Edge, Brave, Chrome, Opera. On the extremely unlikely case that all these browsers removed the shortcut from their newest version I will give up and resolve N/A.

The browser shortcut works for me on Firefox 115 ESR and Chromium 124 (on Linux). I also remember Discord hijacking Ctrl-Shift-N (new Incognito window in Chrome) for create/join server, but that seems to not be the case anymore either.

(See also this Reddit post from 2017 where a staff member addresses this.)

bought Ṁ100 YES

@CollectedOverSpread I decided to test this with the latest versions (Firefox 126 and Chrome 125) on Windows 10. In both browsers Ctrl-Shift-T reopened the last tab. (Similarly, in Chrome Ctrl-Shift-N opened a new Incognito window).

@CollectedOverSpread Are you sure you're focused on discord?

sold Ṁ32 NO

@CollectedOverSpread Hmmm, seems like it is actually very specific to my Firefox setup, I could not reproduce it with Google Chrome, Edge, or Firefox in Incognito. I have sold my position so I can judge this situation properly. I am not sure what to do here yet

I am not sure what to do here yet

What's the ambiguity here? The resolution seems pretty clear to me, although I have a vested interest here of course.

Unfortunately the resolution criteria I wrote is about my own setup, not the majority of people's setup. Fortunately it seems to work now.

perhaps this is a product discovery feature

I believe the shortcut is the same on Chrome as well.

@Pykess Yeah, basically every major Browser has this shortcut. Edge, Brave, Opera, Chrome, Firefox, ... But for simplicity I just chose to resolve based on Firefox because that's what I use

@SavioMak I was just saying for the edge case that Firefox removes this shortcut, you could use one of the other browsers instead of an old version of Firefox

@Pykess Yeah sure, why not.
