Google Calendar making system error sounds when using keyboard shortcuts

[themkc]

I've got Google Calendar installed with the user agent spoofing as described here:
#89 (comment)

When I use keyboard shortcuts to navigate, e.g. "j" and "k" to move up or down a week/month, the MacOS error sound plays. However the keyboard shortcut does actually work and I am navigating the weeks/months correctly in Google Calendar.

Have tried reinstalling and this hasn't worked. I have also tested other Google web apps with keyboard shortcuts and can't seem to fix this.

Hi, thanks for the report. I figured out a fix with Custom JS, but I think Multi can be improved so that it handles this kind of thing by default. Here's a script that will prevent that beeping for any letter key, unless you're also pressing Command:

window.addEventListener("keypress", (event) => {
  if (!event.ctrlKey && event.target === document.body && event.key.match(/[a-z]/))
    event.preventDefault()
})

The issue is that Google Calendar doesn't call event.preventDefault() for keypresses that it handles internally. GitHub also supports navigating with letter keys, but they seem to handle propagation properly, so Multi doesn't beep. By default macOS apps beep for any unhandled keypress (i.e. pressing "j" in Calendar), but I think it would be appropriate to override that behavior in Multi. Safari doesn't beep, and Tauri (a similar project I use for reference) also overrode it: tauri-apps/wry#448

I'm going to leave this issue open as a reminder to myself or as an invite for anyone wanting to contribute!

Much appreciated. I wish I were able to help contribute but my product management experience unfortunately limits me to bug reports. Thanks a ton from Australia :)
