GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 120882
Tab key should work in URL completion dropdown list
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
In the URL entry box, type "www.goo" and a dropdown list will appear with "www.google.com" and any other URLs that start with "www.goo". The user can hit the down arrow key and up arrow key to navigate up and down in this list. I request that the Tab key should work the same as down arrow, and Shift+Tab should work the same as up arrow. This should not cause any UI confusion, because the Tab key will go back to its usual behavior if the user hits the Esc key to get rid of the drop down list. Also, other web browsers such as Mozilla, Galeon, and Mozilla Firebird support this use of the Tab key.
