117186 - put shortcuts for backward/forward in menu

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect, P4)

Description

[Jo Hermans]

build 2001122106 (regular 0.9.7) on MacOS 9.2.2

The 'Go' menu has items for backward and forward navigation, but their shortcuts
are missing in the Modern and Classic skin :

- cmd-[ (or cmd-left arrow)
- cmd-] (or cmd-right arrow)

i don't have a mac build in front of me, but... kathy, on linux the Go menu
lists "Alt+Left Arrow", etc. is the Go menu on mac still lacking those labels? i
couldn't find an existing bug, but if it's a known issue, this bug should prolly
be marked a dup of it.

ALT-left/right arrows do not work on Linux.

I am using i386 Linux
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020615 Debian/1.0.0-3

In the Go menu, it is written that back/forward page is ALT-left/right arrow. 
However, on my system these keys do not do anything.  (I always use ALT instead
of CTRL, see
user_pref("ui.key.accelKey", 18);user_pref("ui.key.menuAccessKey", 0);
as written at http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/)

For information, I have just tried ALT-[ and ALT-] and they really go
forward/backward page.

In fact, I have been noticing this since a few months ago.

The shortcuts are still missing in build 2003032908 (almost 1.4a) on Mac OS X
10.2.4, so I changed the OS-field of this bug.
