Why isn't top result for, disable Ctrl+R during webform edit entitled, disable Ctrl+R during webform edit?
In the answer field you may now be using, tapping Ctrl+R - which may occur because you intended to type Shift+R [to get an 'R' instead of an 'r', will instead result in refreshing the webpage - it will almost certainly lose everything you typed in all editing fields.
[Try - before you type your answer - copying this question, pasting it - spending a moment proof reading like you had in fact thought about & typed it, then position the cursor for continuing the next paragraph with "Really, the best solution is to...", and use Ctrl+R accidentally on purpose instead - to see what I mean]...
Some may have experienced it and still not know what happened..., the chance they will ever find this page telling them about it* is slim to nil.
"Disable Ctrl+R during webform editing.html" should be a page on the internet with an associated resource and always top results for the search with something server-side that is comprehensively & intuitively finding people looking for it [as aforementioned - they may not even know what happened] - the amount of data people stand to lose overall, and time & energy with it, while possibly becoming bewildered or incensed, is unfathomable - currently people will only learn by losing data until it can no longer happen & all I can recommend is *putting e.g. Notepad in your Start Menu/on the Taskbar for quick access and using it to type in, then copy & paste from it, Ctrl+R has no effect in there, might make a ping/selected theme sound, but no typing is lost.
Notepad is usually in Start Menu>Programs>Accessories - you can right click it and pin it to either of the more convenient locations for instant access.
- I'm long over it - but only thanks to my habit of using Notepad did I just now avoid it again in another accursed instance - when a Captcha entry was incorrect [you try get 10/10 of them https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&site=&sour... ], it reset the entire webform..., most unexpected for many people - the world could be a much easier place to get along in.

Um... I just tried it in Firefox and I didn't lose any text. And I definitely didn't disable anything.
There is no reason Google should return something for "disable Ctrl+R during webform edit ". Ctrl+R refreshes the page. Keyboard shortcuts can't be disabled, and refreshing has nothing to do with webforms editing. So four out of five words in the search were completely irrelevant. No wonder Google had no idea what you wanted. If you googled just "Ctrl + R", you would find the answer you were looking for immediately. It's not my fault that you're not too good at googling.
Btw, "Disable Ctrl+R during webform editing.html"? Really? Well, then I gues we should make a page for every possible combination of words! Like "how do I disable sound on HP ProBook 6560b.html", or "What is the standard molar entropy of sulfur hexafluoride.html". Please tell me you were just kidding.
And a fun fact: the top result for "disable Ctrl+R during webform edit" is now this question. So... well... mission accomplished, I guess.
