26261 - XBL alt-key binding doesn't work

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XBL, defect, P3)

Description

[Akkana Peck]

Split off from bug 6649:

Edit the file chrome/platformHTMLBindings.xml.
You'll probably see bindings for "inputFields" and "textAreas".
Right under the <handlers> line corresponding with "inputFields", insert a line
that looks like this:
      <handler type="keypress" id="key_end_alt" key="e" alt="true"
        command="cmd_endLine"/>
Then run mozilla, click in a text field (e.g. the url bar) and type alt-e.  It
should move the caret to the end of the line, but it doesn't.

It presumably opens the Edit menu instead, correct?

Comment 2

[Akkana Peck]

Correct.
They're working fine on linux, though, where the alt key is set as the primary
modifier key.

Comment 3

[David Hyatt]

Fixed.
