  Hello,

  I have this curious issue of when I type ‘k’ in my comment to a post, I am redirected to a previous post and when I type ‘l’ it leads to liking a comment.
  How do I disable this?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @parikhitd,

  Chances are, you may have enabled some accessibility shortcuts, though which web browser are you using? If you could please visit https://www.whatsmybrowser.org/ and share the link to the green button in your next reply, that would be helpful.

  I look forward to hearing from you.

  Hi there,

  Is this on your site itself, or when you’re replying to a comment directly in the Notifications panel?

  What you’re describing is what happens when using the keyboard shortcuts for the notifications panel:

  Make sure that you click inside the comment reply box – make sure your typing cursor is visible there – before typing anything. The keyboard shortcuts only work if if the reply box itself isn’t active.

  If the shortcuts are being triggered while you’re typing in the reply box, please let us know.

  Ignore my last reply.

  Looks like this was a bug in Reader, which was fixed a few hours ago.

  Please clear your browser cache and reload the post you want to comment on, and this should stop happening.
