Website keyboard “shortcuts” are the worst, they always break other things to give a very non standard means to mutate state.

Looking at all of the sites who have taken over Ctrl-K which is the browser shortcut to jump to the search bar.

This gets me every day, so annoying. Workaround is ctrl+L (or alt+d) then ctrl+k.

A new one I just encountered is a site where both spacebar and shift+spacebar made the page scroll downwards.
