143735 - (partially fixed) Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Del and Shift+Ins don't work in Bookmarks Manager (copy, cut, paste)

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Andrew Hagen]

Using 1.0 RC2 branch Build ID: 2002051006 Windows 98, ctrl-ins, shift-del and
shift-ins do not work in bookmarks manager. 

Ctrl-ins seems to copy the URL but not the title or the rest of the bookmark.
Tested with Ctrl-ins, then deleted bookmark with del, then inserted with Ctrl-v.

Shift-del and shift-ins seem to have no effect at all.

Could you please indicate what should do these shortcuts?

Comment 2

[Andrew Hagen]

Ctrl-ins should copy
Shift-del should cut
Shift-ins should paste

Comment 3

[Kathleen :Brade]

note: these bindings (and other obscure keybindings) are supported in composer
and text widgets (if you look at the platform keybindings for Windows).

I tried to work on that problem, but it seems as if I need some help.
I tried to add the keycodes in bookmarksOverlay.xul like
keycode="VK_SHIFT,VK_DELETE"
Is it possible to define keycodes like this?
I also tried the same in bookmarks.xul and added keycodes to the bindings of
key_cut, key_paste etc.
No matter what I try I always get

Break: at file nsDocumentViewer.cpp, line 5466

when trying Shift+Del or Shift+Ins.

I'm quite new to this stuff, if anyone could give me a hint what I'm doing
wrong I'd be very glad :-)

None of the 3 "keys" seems to work.

The bindings should be something like:
Ctrl-Ins == Ctrl-C
Shift-Del == Ctrl-X
Shift-Ins == Ctrl-V

In current trunk builds, Ctrl+Ins and Shift+Del work, but Shift+Ins does not work. 

This is an accessibility issue for left-handers.

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

We won't block the 3.5 release on fixing this, and while it seems like a safe patch would be easy to take, I would bet there are non-trivial localization issues to deal with here.

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Can't really comment on the l10n impact without a patch, or at least a reference to how the other two keys are implemented.

Not sure why this lives in core!

Comment 12

[Tristan Miller]

So the code is specific to Firefox?  Should I open a separate bug for SeaMonkey?

Oh, sorry, I meant to transfer it to SeaMonkey.
