Yeah - I don't think we want UI, but if we're going to do different things per-OS we might as well implement-via-hidden-pref than hardcode the OS distinctions. There's plenty of precedent for that, e.g. backspace-for-history.back being a hidden pref (browser.backspace_action) that's different on Linux vs. elsewhere. -- 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!
