Disable control-e jump to edit page?

NOTE: this section is quoted verbatim from WP:VPT, but I posted it here to archive the discussion, to help others find a solution if they're having a problem similar to mine.

As a long-time Emacs user, my fingers are hardwired to press control-e to jump to the end of the line when editing text, and my web-browser, Safari, generally supports this functionality. Unfortunately it appears as if the MediaWiki or Wikipedia software binds this to jump to the edit page. This makes me loose all my edits on a page and happens to me at least twice per Wikipedia editing session, due to this habit. I imagine this must happen to some others as well. How can I disable this key-binding feature? Joey Hagedorn 06:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Put this in User:Joeyhagedorn/monobook.js (or whatever skin you use):

ta['ca-edit'] = new Array('`','You can edit this page. Please use the preview button before saving.');

Should do the trick, maybe. Reassigns it to a highly unused key. You can also just leave it blank. --Splarka (rant) 07:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Also, see MediaWiki:Monobook.js for other keys you can change this way (in theory). --Splarka (rant) 07:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
