i would like to be allowed to use the chatbox like any other textbox, so i can use arrowkeys to back up and correct one spelling mistake instead of having to either erase everything, or chase after the mouse.
i dont get why dan has locked down the chat box this insanely tight, i think all chars and keys should be allowed in the chat.

ditto

I didn't realize that Dan locked it down.

There are no built-in restrictions on using arrow keys in the comm. Which browser are you experiencing this with?

Firefox 3.6.13 allows the left arrow key but not the right arrow key. This is reproducible on my work and home computers.

IE, Chrome, Failfox. Opera.

Are you sure your keys aren't broken? It works perfectly for me in Chrome.

im on firefox and left arrow key works but right does not

I have used both IE and chrome. Sometimes the keys work, other times they do not. So far there is no rhyme or reason as to this that I have figured out.

same thing happens to me, I'm using firefox but I don't know what version. I'm not a super tech person. haahaaha.

I have used both Firefox and chrome and neither allow the use of arrow keys but I can use Alt and an arrow key to move back and forth a whole word at a time and that works well enough for me.

I'm using the latest version of Chrome, and the same thing happens to me. I can't move left or right in the comms using the arrow keys. If I make a mistake, I have to click with the mouse to the correct spot, or backspace all the way and retype.

It's interesting how this is affecting some people and not others though. I'm on Windows 7 if it helps Dan.
