That is not relevant to this bug, which is about the location bar and the web search bar and what happens if you press ctrl-enter in that. Those don't share any code with the find bar, so any changes there would have to be a different bug, in a different component, and affecting different code. Your suggestion was discussed in bug 1232096 and wontfixed there. This bug is not related and therefore not the right place to ask for reconsideration. -- 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!
