I hate that too.  It also breaks in-page search with "/", which I 
use a lot.

In fact, I get seriously annoyed whenever a web site does 
*anything* to make my browser behave in an unexpected, 
non-standard way.  Like those sites that hijack the arrow keys 
for navigation between images or blog posts.  Or GitHub's 
keyboard shortcuts.  Grrrr...

When I want that stuff, I use a browser plug-in like Vimperator 
or Vimium.  I shouldn't have to install an add-on to *disable* it.
