Description
I'd like to use characters like !@#$%&*()_ in my hints, but every time there's a link with any of these keys as hints, it opens it in a new tab, why is that? I already tried mapping the F key to f, because maybe it had something to do with pressing the shift button, but it didn't change anything.
Obs: my keyboard layout is for Portuguese, but the special keys I mentioned act the same as an English keyboard, so I don't think it matters (! is shift+1, @ is shift+2, etc).
