Hi -- I developed (an overstatement, maybe) the now-defunct extension Background Tabs which allowed ctrl-enter to open URL bar and search bar items in a background tab. I was excited to see this:
> This behavior is now possible, but it's behind a pref (about:config, browser.urlbar.ctrlCanonizesURLs) ...does that mean that a user will be able to change that pref and then ctrl-enter in the URL bar will open a background tab without switching to it? Will there be a similar option for the search bar? (Consistency would seem to dictate that there should be?) -- 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!
