It should, yes. Overall the idea is that CTRL will be the canonization key, and it should be possible to disable it, as well as it should imo be possible to set what to canonize to (if one prefers .it to .com, for example). Then on Mac, CMD will open in a new tab, rather trying to canonize. > Why can't we just make ALT the default canonizer shortcut key? It would not be coherent with any other browser, and we want users to feel home when then move to Firefox. All of the other browsers canonize on CTRL. -- 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.
