新版谷歌浏览器取消退格键返回功能

Google Chrome has finally fixed a huge annoyance for its users. Chrome has removed the keyboard shortcut that makes the "backspace" key return to the previous page.

谷歌Chrome浏览器于日前终于解决了用户的一大困扰。Chrome浏览器已经移除了一键盘快捷键，此“退格键”主要用于返回前一页。

This "feature" caused problems for many people who would inadvertently lose a whole bunch of information that they had just entered into a form.

这一“特点”引起了一系列问题，会造成用户在不经意间丢失了刚刚填写的一大堆信息。

For example, if you were filling out a survey or other web form and pressed the backspace key when you weren't actually focused in one of the text boxes, Chrome interpreted the backspace as a "back" button which would cause you to lose all of the data you had just entered.

例如：你正在填写一份调查问卷或者其他的网页表单，在未锁定文本框的情况下按下退格键，Chrome默认退格键即为“返回”按钮，造成刚刚输入的所有信息丢失。

Google engineers wrote, when they first announced that the fix was coming at the end of July, that years of user complaints have finally driven them to get rid of the shortcut.

谷歌工程师写道，7月底他们第一次宣布对此进行修复，多年的用户投诉终于促使他们取消了这一快捷键。

Although some hardcore shortcut fans have complained heartily about this move, Google engineers said that the number of people suffering, plus the relative ease of switching back, make the change worth it.

尽管习惯使用该快捷键的人强烈抱怨此次修复，但谷歌工程师称，不习惯这一快捷键的人数众多，再加上切换回来相对容易些，所以这一改变是值得的。

We're definitely aware of the frustration that this causes users who have come to rely on the shortcut, a Google product manager, Tyler Odean, writes. "However for users who don't understand the behavior of the shortcut, which is the majority of users, the loss of data is also super frustrating and they are less equipped to understand or prevent their frustrations."

“我们的确意识到这将使得依赖此快捷键的用户十分沮丧，”谷歌产品经理泰勒·奥丁写道。“但是对于不懂得如何使用此快捷键的大多数用户而言，数据的丢失也超级沮丧，他们更无法理解或避免这种沮丧感。”

People who like the shortcut can either switch to using other ones (like alt+left arrow on Windows, command+left arrow on Mac) or install a Chrome extension that makes backspace go back again.

那些习惯使用快捷键的用户要么使用其他快捷键（像Windows操作系统下alt+左箭头键，Mac操作系统下command+左箭头键），要么安装Chrome扩展版继续使用“退格键”。

This fix has officially started rolling out for Chrome users and a spokesperson tells us it should be "at 100% soon."

此修复已正式面向Chrome用户推广，一位发言人告诉我们，这应该很快就会“百分百”的实现。
