   So JS lets you add and remove event listeners, but not list them. To remove one, you have to have a reference to the function that gets fired. Which I can't do without the ability to list them. wtf

   Context here is GitHub has a godawful hotkey-ridden comment box, and I like precisely zero (0) of the hotkeys. I would like to remove every single input and keydown, so the system shortcuts work, instead of getting overloaded with garbage I don't want.

     @ieure I remember exactly when they introduced this feature, because it was the thing that got me to start using gitlab, back when gitlab was decent!

     @ieure the worst part is that the whole point of markdown is to make it so you don't need any support from your text editor because it's just plain text

     somehow they ... just fundamentally don't understand what markdown is for??

     but yeah, luckily for work where I don't get to not use github I have exwm to save my ass these days, but it means I can never stop using exwm

     @technomancy It's another one of those things that Just Works on my personal Linux rig, because the EXWM config from when I first set it up like five years ago means zero websites can hijack the bindings I expect. But on a normie computer, it's endless, unfixable pain.
