Hitting the spacebar scrolls the browser window down, so shift-spacebar should scroll it up.

What do the HI guidelines say about this? I see that Mail.app backs up the page with both shift-space AND option-space, as does Omniweb. IE accepts just option-space.

how about implementing both option-space and shift-space? but if we had to choose only one, option-space would prolly be better, since that's what OmniWeb and IE use.

Shift-space makes more sense to me, if you consider "shift" the "opposite", and "option" a "variation".

I vote for having Shift-Space - simply because: On Apple's current portable computers you only have a Shift key on the right hand side of the keyboard, no Option key there. So for lefties it does matter, but for most of us having Shift-Space to scroll up is much more handy on a PowerBook or iBook.

Is there not a conflict with Extended keyboard navigation, space is used to be a click, see AAHIG ?

within the content area, i think space acts like a click for certain html form elements when they are in focus (namely the checkbox, radiobutton and buttons). space won't act as a click for focused html elements like links, droplists, scrolling lists, textareas, textfields, or even at the document-level. (esp the last, where space needs to scroll down. :)

I vote for shift-space, partly because it's what I'm used to, partly because I'm on an iBook with two shift keys and only one option key, and partly because it seems pretty traditional to use shift to reverse direction (shift-tab to move backwards through fields instead of forwards, cmd-shift-tab to move backwards through open applications instead of forwards, etc.), and it would be nice to keep that consistant.

Conflict with HIG or not Safari does it. Voting for this bug. Shift-space.

iCab does it as well with space-shift. I'm voting for this bug too. Anyway this key combination is used in many applications other than browsers.

This patch fills in the nsKeyEvent modifiers for the event that is used for space-down and shift-space-up.
