When displaying a modal on mobile, have the 'back' button close the modal instead of actually going back a page

The title says it all ... When displaying a modal on mobile, have the 'back' button close the modal instead of actually going back a page.

Besides the XF modal, the same for the lightbox when viewing an image, instead of going back a page just close the lightbox when the mobile device 'back' button is hit.

I just came to post this.

Just happened to me again and I got annoyed enough to come here on a Sunday lol


Trap the native back button and prevent default action and instead close the attachment browser modal.

We have members requesting this too, seems it's becoming the standard?

@Russ what would it take to add this to Pixel Exit styles?

An annoyance yes.

Definitely agree with this. My default reaction is to always push the back button to close a modal on my phone. It other people feel the same then it must be natural.
