187110 - Ctrl-L keybinding would be useful (in addition to Alt-N) to focus on the Address book's name/email field.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Richard Neill]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

It would be nice if the UI were the same in the address book as in the browser.
I'd like Ctrl-L to place focus on the "Name or Email Contains" field of the
address book.

[Also, when opening the address book (via Ctrl-5), the cursor should be in this
field ready to type].

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Alt-N does this. But this is inconsistent. 

Expected Results:  
Since the address-book doesn't yet have Ctrl-L as a shortcut to anything else,
can we have both Ctrl-L and Alt-N doing the same thing?

This is a trivial change! But it's a mistake my fingers always make!

2 keys for the same thing is bad -> wontifx
