Yes, fair point.
I'm not saying that my muscle memory should take precedence.

I think the points about internally consistent behavior and matching
behavior of other browsers are more compelling.

Maybe upon hitting cmd-enter, FF could detect whether the entry was in
need of .com completion, and perform whatever action accordingly. There
is some logic in place already to determine whether or not to append
".com": when i enter mozilla.org and hit cmd-enter, my request isn't
transformed to mozilla.org.com

  Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab

Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  There are currently too many shortcuts when opening a link in a new
  tab:

   - location bar: <ALT> + <ENTER>
   - GO button: <CTRL> + click
   - search bar: <CTRL> + <ENTER>
   - SEARCH button <ALT> + click
   - links: <SHIFT> + click
   - menu bar: <CTRL> + click
   - BACKWARD/FORWARD button: <CTRL> + click

  This is one of the reasons I'm keeping with Opera. There it is always
  the shift key and I have to remember only one key.

  Thanks for reading!
