282222 - Enable different "ui.key.generalAccessKey preference settings for chrome and content

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 340902

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Greg K.]

Accesskey pref is currently set to control. On Mac, however, this means chrome
keyboard combinations (such as Open, Save, and Close) that would usually use the
Command key only work when using the non-standard Control key.
