arrow keys "->" and "<-" don't work in viewer any more because currently these are taken care of by XUL.
since viewer does not have XUL. These operation should be done by editor.
Component: Viewer App → Editor
I am sending a patch. Apparently this fixes the problem. Could anyone check this in?
Handing to beth for triage.

assigning to buster -- Steve, what do you think?

The patch that I submitted is really a bad solutions though. Cause the rest of the keys still won't work, for example, HOME, END, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, etc. I think it will be sweet if someone can tell me how to hook nsEditorController to the nsEditorEventListeners interface. I can try to hook that in.
mike, kathy, and akkana are working on this problem, not me. so assigning to kathy, cc-ing the others. in general, the sort of hack proposed here is bad for lots of reasons, and is no substitute for proper key bindings. this patch will cause more problems than it will solve. I believe the plan is to enable key bindings in the absence of XUL. So this problem should go away.

No patches. This is what I'm working on... namely converting the key bindings from XUL to XBL. You'll notice that text fields now work again in viewer. Next I'm converting over the browser and editor key bindings to XBL. This bug should be marked as a dup of my "Convert Ender key bindings to XBL" bug. Once I do that, this bug will be fixed.
Do you have an estimated time frame for the real fix? Thank you.
