277628 - Help shows Enter instead of Click (Left Click)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox Graveyard :: Help Documentation, defect)

Description

[David McRitchie]

F1 (Help) in Firefox   showing  +Enter in most cases should be +Click
within  Keyboard Shortcuts.

Examples of incorrect usage: (corrected below)
 Open Link in New Tab	          Ctrl+Click 	 not  Ctrl+Enter 
 Open Link in New Window 	  Shift+Click    not  Shift+Enter 	 
 Open Address in New Tab	  Alt+Click      not  Alt+Enter

 in order to use Enter you would have to actually select the link
 which is not the same as clicking on the link. 

Examples of existing correct usage with Enter:
 Complete .com Address  	 Ctrl+Enter
 Complete .net Address 	         Shift+Enter 	  	 
 Complete .org Address           Ctrl+Shift+Enter
 
This applies to both HELP (F1)  and to 
  http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard

There are probably specific words for  leftclick and rightclick
in your style manual, but click should specically refer to
leftclick, left-click, LtClick or however it is to be shown.
don't know what you use  but  click  is the leftclick/LtClick or
whatever would be correct.   Since that is the default click even
on a single mouse button MAC.

You do realize that the page you linked to is *keyboard* shortcuts? It lists
everything you can do with the keyboard, so changing it to show stuff about
clicks isn't valid. Tabbing to a link and pressing Ctrl+Enter works just fine.

Agreed.  Sorry noticed that I did choose "keyboard shortcuts" later and you are
correct it is a "mouse" shortcut and they are correct there.   Resulted in "Mid
air collision" response when I tried to mark it myself as invalid.  Sorry for
the trouble.
