131494 - Control+Enter in the URL bar does not open a tabbed window

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122035

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[derek fong]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310
BuildID:    2002031005

Even if Preferences > Tabbed Browsing > Control+Enter in the URL bar is checked,
using that key combination in the URL bar to open a web page in a tabbed window
does not work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate the preference item as indicated
2. Type a URL into the URL bar and press Control+Enter


Actual Results:  Nothing happens after I type the URL and hit the Control+Enter
combination.  This is occurring on an iBook Dual USB which has both the
"standard" Return key and a smaller "Enter" key located to the right of the
second Command key.


Expected Results:  Unless the purpose of the preference is unclear, the
Control+Enter (i.e., the smaller Enter key next to the Command key) key
combination should open a URL in a tabbed window as implied.


Considering Mac users are not used to using the Control key, I would suggest
making the Mac key combo into Command+Enter instead.  In fact, I would also
suggest treating Enter and Return as one and the same if they aren't already.

the control-enter key sequence is improperly processed on OSX.  This is a
problem throughout the browser (and there is a bug on it already, iirc).
