  • How do I move the Find Bars close X back where it belongs?

    From WaltS48@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 29 10:22:21 2021
    In the Find Bar (Ctrl+F) of the Proton redesign of Firefox, the close
    "x" has been moved from the right end to the left end.

    How does a user put it back where it belongs.

    Interesting question! It's always annoyed me that the X was so far
    from the search-argument entry field, so - to me - this sounds
    like a big improvement!

    Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own.

    It is, but retraining my muscle memory hasn't kicked in yet.

    So much is changing, I thought I would get the whiners a head start on
    fixes that they can save for wherever they land on Monday, and when the redesign is released. 😉

    fwiw (and if you see this before the closing)

    I use the Esc key to close the search bar.
    If it's not active, a quick Ctrl+f followed by Esc (all left hand!)
    nukes it.

    I'm primarily a mouse user, but do use Ctrl+F to open the Find Bar.

    Thanks for the tip!
