So, we apparently do: ctrl => .com shift => .net ctrl + shift => .org
First, I'm not convinced .net and .org are more important than the other many tlds around, for example in a localized build it would be far more interesting to canonize to the local tld (for example .it for italian). I'd totally support ctrl+shift to complete to the localized tld rather than .org (though this would require localization support). Second, I'd like if ctrl would be the necessary key to activate canonization in general, so all the shortcuts should required ctrl to be pressed. Shift is far too common when typing and as I said it's already used by tab/tabshifted, it's just confusing. I understand changing this we could break muscle memory of a minority, but it's for a totally undiscoverable feature on less critical tlds than .com. and we're changing cmd on Mac already, for which we'll want a relnote. I'd honestly propose to drop the shift and ctrl+shift behaviors completely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in firefox-3.5 package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix 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!
