I think I implemented this in the updated patch, though I left out the
support for downloads using 'alt-enter' on mac. I'm not convinced people
want that behaviour, and in any case it'd re-introduce per-platform
checks and some redundant calls to whereToOpenLink that I'm not super-
fond of.

Note that the spreadsheet doesn't cover shift-enter, which also
canonifies today. I left that as-is, though of course that now also
comes under the pref, and can therefore be turned off (at which point
we'll open a new window instead).

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!
