Description Boris Hollas 2016-09-02 13:51:19 UTC 
By default, "cache and temporary files" is selected in the "Clear Personal Data" dialog. If I select other items, these settings will not be remembered. They should be remembered so the user doesn't have to re-enter his preferred settings each time.

Also, when typing in the location bar, history entries show up so that smart bookmarks are less easy to find. As this can be improved by clearing the history, a keyboard shortcut should be provided to clear personal data or the docs should explain how this can be accomplished with Gnome. If possible, the same shortcut as for FF should be used (Shift-Ctrl-Del).

Makes sense.

This is a completely different issue that you could file a different bug for. Currently we have Ctrl+E for opening the preferences dialog, but not any shortcuts for opening sub-dialogs like passwords, cookies, or clear data. If we want to provide shortcuts for those we should do it for all of them.
