It is probably easy enough to add short-cuts to context menus and there is no objects yet, so far so good.
At least such features were reachable without any shortcuts. What I am more concerned with is the ones which are not reachable anywhere else. I see from the master list posted earlier that we have quite a bit of functionality that falls into this category. For example CTRL-O for Open and ALT-ENTER for navigating in a new tab. Even people used to the latter feature have trouble finding it because we've used the normal way of doing this (CTRL-ENTER) for something else. If when you type in the Omnibox, the suggestion drop-down would include these on the right below where it says "Type to search", then people would eventually find these features. If there is a better place for these, I'd like to hear about it. - Itai On Jan 15, 1:49 pm, Brian Rakowski <[email protected]> wrote: > It seems like a good idea to put the shortcuts in the context menus (and > other menus) where there is space.
