devhelp: change ShowSearchTab key to ctrl+K (1.02 KB, patch)

Description Jason Siefken 2011-12-04 09:58:17 UTC 
To be consistent with web browsers, ctrl+K should be used
to start searching by keyword instead of ctrl+S (which
is difficult to guess...)

devhelp: change ShowSearchTab key to ctrl+K

Firefox and Chromium use ctrl+K as the keyboard shortcut for
doing a web search.  This also makes sense as a shortcut for
searching based on keywords.
Comment 2 Frederic Peters 2011-12-21 20:26:54 UTC 
I'd prefer ctrl+F, to be consistent with (at least) epiphany and gedit.
Comment 3 Jason Siefken 2011-12-21 21:10:20 UTC 
I think we're talking about different features.  ctrl+F searches the text on the page.  ctrl+K moves focus to the "search engine" search box.

Obsoleted this patch.
Comment 6 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-10 19:34:19 UTC 
this is very disruptive, why did you remove ctrl-s? I never used ctrl-k anywhere...

also, iirc, / used to work, that was very convenient too. Please reconsider.
Comment 7 Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-04-10 19:36:49 UTC 
admitedly, I use ctrl-k in browser, sorry.

However I don't see the need for ctrl-s to be removed.
