Not my blog, but the author's experience reminded me of my own frustrations with Microsoft GitHub.

the ability to override menu keys is really a long-running flaw in browser UI

They have a reason to do so here though. OP evaded their search box and couldn't find the content. Because it's not fully rendered. Because code files can get big, and rendering them to DOM with inline highlighting and hover actions, sidebar with infos, and interactivity becomes a performance problem. So they implement partial rendering / virtual scrolling.
