Adding confirmation alert to leave or stay the page in editor.

[FlyingPirateCat]

I want to request to disable keyboard shortcut "back" when you're in the editor.
Sometimes my fingers would slip as I type and unintentionally pressed this shortcut and the page suddenly gone, replaced with previous one.

I lost my progress lots of times because of this T.T

Edit: Or perhaps adding a confirmation alert to stay or leave the page will also do.

Edit2: Perhaps picture speak louder than words. What I request is just add this to prevent accidental data loss.

What's the shortcut key? As in which button is it on your keyboard? I'm asking because I dunno.

It doesn’t even need to be a shortcut. Just tapping the backspace button (while cursor is not in text) or F5 is enough to destroy all the editing.

Also, it’s super easy to accidentally activate the “previous page” gesture on touchpad or on mobile. (Reason I don’t edit on phone, but you can’t just remove the touchpad on a laptop)

I also dunno which button it is. Suddenly the editor froze and a few moments later everything was gone.

Thanks! I'll take a look at this.

That'll be a bit hard to fix your problem then if you don't know which button it is. I'll need to be able to recreate the problem before I can fix it. If you ever find out, please let me know.

If you press alt+LeftArrow it's equivalent to pressing the back arrow in your browser window.

As this is built into most browsers I doubt you can disable this.

Edit: or maybe you can I don't know

Bump!

I hereby request to add the confirmation leave or stay popup in the editor.

Spoiler: Something Like This
