296428 - Same accesskey reference for Tools - Web search and context menus Search the web for ..

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Ville Pohjanheimo (inactive)]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050529 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050529 Firefox/1.0+

The  Tools -> Web Search  item and the context menus  Web Search for 'selected
text'  items both reference the same accesskey from browser.dtd which makes
localizing difficult as not all languages have similar 'optimal' ways of saying
Web Search for.. and Web Search (bar).

Case in point being Finnish where  Web Search  is sensible to translate as 
Hakupalkki  (with the current behaviour of the menu selection) and  Web Search
for '...'  is translated as  Etsi verkosta "... ". Having a single accesskey for
these two strings is no-good.

Of course the exact choise of words here (for Finnish at least) is debatable,
but it's not reasonable to use the same accesskey for different strings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
Unique accesskeys for unique strings (and preferable for unique DTD or
properties keys too).
