Expected Cross-browser behavior of the Cursor in Reaction to Keystrokes ======================================================================= For usability, it's very important that the common navigation keys (up/down/enter/backspace) should behave as a the user expects. This means that whenever possible, any cross-browser behavioral differences should be corrected. General Guidelines ------------------ * The Enter and Backspace keys should be compliments with regards to navigation. Doing one and then the other should return to the same state. * The Up and Down keys should be compliments. * The Up and Down keys should *not* create new blocks. Only move the cursor between them. * When navigating to "blue space" (areas without blocks) via the nav keys or the mouse, a paragraph block should be created on first content keystroke. * Backspace at the start of a block joins the contents of the current block with the contents of the previous. * Enter when in a block creates a new block after the current, with the content after the cursor in the new block. * Tables, Images, Blockquotes and Pre areas are "special".
