154915 - Control+[Shift]+Tab does not cycle through frames

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: Accessibility, defect, P4)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

1. go to a page with framed content, eg, http://faqs.org/ or http://wired.com/
2. hit control+tab (or control+shift+tab) to cycle through the frames on that page.

result: no navigation occurs.

oddly, [shift]+F6 works to cycle through frames --not really ideal on Mac OS X,
though, since function keys can be reassigned by the user.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

chimera is currently based on the mozilla 1.0 branch, so this bug is not a
duplicate of bug 169589, which is a trunk-based bug (a regression). for
comparison, a mozilla/nscp branch build on OS X (2002.11.20.16-1.0) doesn't
exhibit this problem.

reopening.

Camino 2003061704 & 
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=atbaqs%24f821%40ripley.netscape.com&rnum=3&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dmozilla%26ie%3DISO-8859-1%26hl%3Den%26btnG%3DGoogle%2BSearch

it looks like a simple tab is changing focus. I notice that some things are
still off (type ahead find for one) but I think i've seen those bugs filed
elsewhere.

is there anything still here since the move to the trunk?

[Ludovic Hirlimann [:Usul]]

problem if it's a problem is still here.
adding a site with frames because neither faqs.org nor wire.com do use frames
anymore.

Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab combinations worked as Next/Previous Tab Keyboard Shortcuts in 
previous builds, which is also what is indicated in the latest Help Documentation.

I recommend using these Opt+Tab and Opt+Shift+Tab for Move to Next/Previous Frame Keyboard 
Shortcuts, which is what they are in Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac.

I would leave Ctrl+Tab and Ctrl+Shift+Tab as the Keyboard Shortcuts for Next/Previous Tab, since 
switching tabs is more common functionality than switching frames for most users.  Therefore, it 
should have a higher order or more common shortcut (Cmd being primary, Ctrl being secondary, Opt 
being tertiary).

Disregard comments about previous builds and help documentation.  This is for Firefox.

However, I think the same argument applies for Camino.

This may be important to accessibility, but I don't think it's a show stopper
for 1.0.

Targeting for 1.1 and giving priority of 4.

In the words of the great pink... fffffff

This WFM in recent trunk builds; if anyone else can repro this on trunk, feel free to reopen.

This is NOT working for me in a trunk build I built this afternoon.

[philippe (part-time)]

Works fine here, with an 8 hours old trunk build.

In an official nightly, I can get Tab to cycle between frames, but Ctrl-Tab does absolutely nothing.
