Summary
This is to fix an issue where trying to close the keyboard shortcuts panel with the Space and Enter keys doesn't work in Firefox or IE. Pressing space opens and closes the panel immediately and pressing enter seems to do nothing.
As far as I can tell it looks like the
onKeyDown
event is handled on the close button, but then because the focus is set to the "?" button that opens the panel, the correspondingonKeyUp
event triggers anonClick
and re-opens the panel.So – I've removed the
Enter
andSpacebar
handling from the close button'sonKeyUp
handler, which should just allowonClick
to do its thing. Similarly, I removed theonKeyDown
handler on the open button (if there's more context on disabling the enter key for that button let me know, but that seemed weird to me).Gifs
