Both in mozilla composer and mozilla mail_composer
The hotkeys conflict:
Spell check      -> Ctrl+Shift+K
Remove Link      -> Ctrl+Shift+K

Reproduce Steps:
1) Open composer
2) Type "test this link"
3) select and high light the text
4) click the righ button of the mouse,then slect 'Create link'
5) Select "link",then use the hot key 'Ctrl+shift+K', The spell check dialog

The point to this bug is what hotkey should us use to these two functions.

Spell check      -> Ctrl+Shift+K

Correct a mistake in the description.
When use 'Ctrl+shift+K',the spell check works.But the 'remove links' DOESN'T WORK!

Well,the hotkey to  remove link is 'Ctrl+Shift+K' and the hotkey to spellcheck
is 'Ctrl+K'.
it is easy to press the wrong key when I want to remove a link,but lauch spell
check dialog.

I made a mistake again.

So it is not a bug,just a tiny thing need to enhanced

In 1.8a I find that the bug is still existed

Spell check                         -> Ctrl+Shift+K
Remove Links/discontinue links      -> Ctrl+Shift+K

In mozilla 1.4 and 1.7:
Spell check      -> Ctrl+K
Remove Link      -> Ctrl+Shift+K

please read bug 110517 before you spend any time on this.

note that ctrl-shift-k works today on windows (as remove link).

the "fix" for this would be to remove the accelerator for remove link on unix.
if you really want to spend time doing that, follow the example for ctrl-shift-k
(spell check).
