If I'm using firefox already, this key combination will open a new firefox window with translate, yet it will not have focus. This is problematic in that I must then type <alt><tab> to focus the window. Steps: 1. create a custom shortcut to the command "/usr/bin/firefox --browser --new-window translate.google.com" 2. open a firefox window. 3. type the shortcut. 4. see that the window does not have focus (even if it may appear in front!)
