142296 - MacOS tabbed-browsing pref should say "command-click" instead of "control-click"

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 106398

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[stevenj]

I'm using the Mozilla RC1 build on MacOS X, and I noticed a platform-specific
error in the "tabbed browsing" preference-pane wording.

In particular, there is a checkbox to open tabs instead of windows for
"Middle-click or control-click of links in a Web page", when it should say
"command-click" instead of "control-click".  Or, better yet, instead of the word
"command" it should use the squiggly clover-leaf symbol for the Mac "command"
key (which is not labelled as "command" on the keyboard; that's just the term
used in the Apple technical docs), as in the menus for keyboard shortcuts.

On the Mac (at least in the MacOS X build), control-click opens up a contextual
menu (like right-click on other platforms).  Command-click opens up new windows
or, if the abovementioned pref is checked, new tabs.

Cordially,
Steven G. Johnson

PS. I would also recommend deleting the mention of "middle-click" since
multi-button mice are non-standard in the Mac world.  (When they are used,
people typically have custom bindings for the buttons anyway.)
