The amount of times I press ^P in Firefox to switch to another GNU screen tab… only to be greeted with the print dialogue…

Sounds familiar! For me it's Ctrl+Shift+C to copy the selected text to the clipboard, which opens Web Inspector instead 😂

@mirabilos Ctrl+Shift+C is used in the terminal emulators that I use to copy the text selected with mount or other pointing device — there is a way to use the keyboard to select text, but I never do that. And without any context, Ctrl+C would interrupt the running program in most cases — so I'm usually really careful not to press that by accident. Well, in Firefox I have to, but after I've already opened the Web Inspector — every time! 🤣

Other than Firefox I mostly use TUI software, which might have different shortcuts, but Ctrl+Shift+C works everywhere — muscle memory makes attempt to do that even in FF 🤷

@m0xee yah, other than Firefox and Mu͒seScore and occasiionally MPlayer, all I use runs in xterms…
