*L* That's an funny, though very much anti-ergonomic reason ;-)
I won't try to make you change your mind.
I will, as would anyone who has read up anything about user interfaces.
Changing the behaviour of any standard control is a very bad idea. Users
have come to expect certain behaviours from certain controls. If you
change this, you will confuse them. The chances are that they will not
bother fighting with your site, they will just give up and go elsewhere.
This is well researched and well known. It's not a piece of folklore.
You are running a serious risk of losing visitors for the sake of some
personal (and highly irregular) whim. What's the point?
End of rant ;-)
