Karel Vervaeke commented on DSY-637:
------------------------------------

Unfortunately there is no way to change the default value of these confirm dialogs (javascript:confirm('question')) so there is nothing we can do.

> When one is editing a document and wants to close the window or go back in the browser history, one is shown a dialog window asking "Are you sure you want to navigate to another page?" and given two options: Yes (the default) and Cancel.
> Cancel should be the default action, as pushing the Yes button inadvertently can have bad consequences. I was just creating a page, then as I was typing I moved the focus away from the editing window (probably touched the touchpad) and kept typing. One of the keys I pressed made the dialog show up, and before I realised what I was doing I typed a space, and so I lost 30 minutes of my work. I wouldn't want that to happen to other people.
> Given that part of the text of the dialog is in Portuguese, which is my default browser language, I would think that the dialog feature is not purely a Daisy implement, so it may be beyond your powers to change this, but it might be useful to do so.
