And the standard one is what, exactly? It's certainly not F3: in Internet Explorer and even Windows Explorer, F3 doesn't Find Next, it opens the Search sidebar. > Then go ahead and search for all the request to add Alt+D, Alt+D is worth considering, because accel+L (the current shortcut) is so awkward as to be relatively useless.

Mapping Shift+click to anything is bad, because it prevents implementation of Shift+drag to temporarily disable links so that you can select their text (like in 4.x for Mac). > If you only add backspace but leave away > these two shortcuts you will find that 99% of IE users find Mozilla > very hard to use. I agree -- of all the keyboard shortcuts we might want to copy from MSIE, Backspace is probably the worst. -- Matthew `mpt' Thomas, Mozilla UI Design component default assignee thing <http://mozilla.org/>
