Description Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-02-13 03:48:04 UTC 
talked to calum about this one. In a scrolled window ctrl+Pgdown/up should
vertically scroll, so we should use alt instead. There's a hig bug that
mentions this as well bug 87764.

I can probably put a patch together for this.
Comment 1 Marco Pesenti Gritti 2003-02-13 10:07:32 UTC 
Let's see what people say in that bug.
Btw while looking at gedit I noticed a "Move to new window" instead of
our detach. I think that's more clear. (maybe s/window/browser")
Comment 2 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-02-13 12:53:55 UTC 
RE: s/detach tab/Move to New Browser, I'm not particularly fond of
either, but i'll leave that up to you....tabs suck...long live tabs....
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2003-05-30 19:55:50 UTC 
What's the status on this? Do we still want to do it?
Comment 4 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2003-06-02 01:37:22 UTC 
We do still want this in theory since ctrl+PgUp/dwn should
horizontally scroll. But moz doesn't do this yet, so we figured for
the time being it wasn't worth breaking with current convention. We
agreed to keep the bug open though.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2003-06-03 13:56:15 UTC 
Just for reference, the moz bug where this behaviour has been proposed
is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163562 , comment s #6 ff.
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2004-10-13 10:51:11 UTC 
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Comment 7 Reinout van Schouwen 2005-12-09 22:50:51 UTC 
Barring unforeseen HIG recommendations I think we should just keep the current
behaviour. The mozilla bug was marked fixed with Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+PgDn as tab
switching shortcuts and I like that because it can be done with one hand.
Comment 8 Christian Persch 2005-12-31 20:46:37 UTC 
I agree with comment 7; marking WONTFIX.
