There's a forum that I frequent that intercepts and binds to CTRL + S to save your submission post via AJAX calls. It's one where you're often typing out long mathematical formulae and detailed physics responses, so it's a handy feature to have. If I've been spending time there, I find myself doing it on other pages and, of course, opening up the save dialogue. It doesn't really help that I do a lot of my navigation by way of the keyboard instead of with the mouse, at least when using the computer itself and, in some cases, on the web.
So, yeah... I feel like a complete idiot sometimes. I can certainly relate to having done it on Voat - and I suspect I have, I'm just not remembering an instance of it - which may well be because it's just happened to me that frequently in my life.

the "ctrl-s" made me chuckle. i, too, do it instinctively when i stop typing, lol

Yup. It's a habit - even when typing regular text into a word processing app.
