Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; .NET CLR 3.8.30727; WOW64; Trident/6.0; en-MT)

Steps to reproduce:

Right click, Press A.

Actual results:

Nothing

Expected results:

The link destination should have been copied to clipboard.

L does not and cannot function as an accelerator key as it takes the user's eyes off the screen and makes them reach across the keyboard, taking their hands off of the actual hotkey area on the left.

This takes longer than the menu action itself, making it literally not an accelerator key.

This is unacceptable for any browser. There must be an accelerator key for Copy Link.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.
