CTRL+S shortcut

Hi Perch Team, Is there a way to switch ctrl+s shortcut off? (during region editing in the control panel)

I do not know why, but on Windows alt + s, works exactly the same as ctrl+s which is a problem when You try to type polish letter "ś" (alt+s).

on Mac it works proprely.

Thanks, Maciej

Which browser are you using? We are detecting Windows vs Mac, so it should be using Ctrl on Windows and Cmd on Mac. Never Alt.

I'm using Safari on Mac and it is working ok. But this is my secound client who is facing this problem on Windows. I check on Firefox on Windows and there was a problem. My client use Chrome.

Alt + S for my two clients is working as Ctrl + S on Windows and on Chrome & Explorer.

Can you try this on the system that's failing and let me know what happens?

As you press the problematic key combination, what does it output?

the output is "Control"

That's the result from alt+s ?

Yes, Alt + s

Huh. That's rather inconvenient.

yhym... and it is quite uncomfortable for my clients, because it is impossible to type "ś" (alt+s) in Perch. If they want to type "ś" they need to copy "ś" from somewhere and paste it to perch admin panel, it is the only solution I found so far :) What is strange, this problem is in Perch only.

Is there a way I can switch that (ctrl+s "save") off? :)

You should be able to turn off in perch settings.

Try unchecking the setting:

Enable Ctrl-E to edit

There isn't currently a setting for that.

Is it possible that this will be fixed in the next Perch update? I will be thankfull.
