For some Fargo users, the standard key mappings get in the way of the normal functioning of the browser. Now we have a way to disable individual key mappings, or add new ones. It's very geeky, so I'm calling it an experiment to see if it helps.

How to

Suppose you want to disable Fargo's mapping for Cmd-[ for Promote.

  1. In the System menu, the one at the right edge of the menu bar with your name as its title, choose the Settings command.

  2. Click on the Code panel.

  3. Enter this bit of code: concordKeystrokes ["meta-["] = "";

  4. Click OK.

  5. Reload Fargo.

  6. Press Cmd-[ on a headline with subs. If it worked, it should do nothing.

What meta means

On Macs, the "meta" key is Cmd. On Windows and Unix it's Control.
