I agree with James, ALT keys should be only used for accessibility, if we want to be able to allow keyboard shortcuts to other toolbars, we need to reorganize our current ones. It would be nice to have the following combinations: CTRL+SHIFT+T --- Main Toolbar CTRL+SHIFT+B --- Main Bookmarks bar CTRL+SHIFT+E --- Extension bar
I wish we could use shorter `shortcuts`. I am working with Mr Klink trying to improve the keyboard shortcuts and accessibility within Chrome, and currently Chrome is disabling keyboard users accessing other tool bars, which is a problem. Any suggestions is highly appreciated. -Mohamed On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 9:00 PM, James Su <[email protected]> wrote: > > > 2009/9/26 Jacob Mandelson <[email protected]> > > >> On Sat, Sep 26, 2009 at 11:40:07AM -0400, Mohamed Mansour wrote: >> > Hi all, (need UI team feedback and other keyboard guru's) >> > We need a more coherent story for accessing various toolbars.
