Description Christian Rose 2001-07-21 17:10:01 UTC 
I recently learned that CTRL+B is an inoffial standard shortcut for "Add
Bookmark" in many browsers.
That it isn't in Galeon is probably my fault... it comes from some previous
shortcut reorganization suggestion of mine. Anyhow, here is my new proposal:


Shortcut          Current            Proposed
---------------------------------------------
Add Bookmark      CTRL+D             CTRL+B
New Tab           CTRL+B             CTRL+T
Show Toolbar      CTRL+T             SHIFT+CTRL+T


Sorry for the inconvinience.
Comment 1 Daniel Erat 2001-07-21 17:22:26 UTC 
View->Menubar is currently Ctrl+M.  It should probably be changed to
Shift+Ctrl+M, to be consistent with the Toolbar and Statusbar items.
Comment 2 Yanko Kaneti 2001-07-21 20:54:46 UTC 
now lets see:
most widely used browsers list (my list, dont have any data really)
                         Add bookmark     Edit bookmarks
--------------------------------------------------------
IE                        Ctrl-D             Ctrl-B
Netscape Win              Ctrl-D             Ctrl-B
Netscape *nix             Alt-K              Alt-B
Mozilla                   Ctrl-D             Ctrl-B

what gives? konqui and nauti are on total crack, imho
Comment 3 Daniel Erat 2001-07-21 21:13:48 UTC 
Well then, howsabout we leave "Add bookmark" at Ctrl+D, change the
bookmark editor to Ctrl+B, change "New tab" to Ctrl+T, change
"Toolbar" to Shift+Ctrl+T, and change "Menubar" to Shift+Ctrl+M? :)
Comment 4 Christian Rose 2001-07-23 18:02:52 UTC 
Yank, you have convinced me. Below is my revised proposal, identical
to Daniel's revised proposal.

Shortcut          Current            Proposed
---------------------------------------------
Add Bookmark      CTRL+D             CTRL+D  (no change)
Edit Bookmarks    CTRL+E             CTRL+B
New Tab           CTRL+B             CTRL+T
Show Toolbar      CTRL+T             SHIFT+CTRL+T
Show Menubar      CTRL+M             SHIFT+CTRL+M
