In Camino, focusing Search box or "Search the web" command from Go menu using
"Cmd + Shift + F". [1]
In Safari, the same behavior requires "Cmd + Option + F".
In Firefox, it uses "Cmd + K".

This is a bit of confusing. Since Camino try to be Gecko browser with Mac
look-and-feel, keyboard shortcut should change to Safari one. At least, both
shortcut should focus the search box.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press "Cmd + Option + F"
2.
3.



Expected Results:

I don't see any reason for us to change our shortcuts.

-Shift- is typically for the first, closest alternate/related "meaning", i.e.
Close Tab is Cmd-W and Close Window is Shift-Cmd-W; Cmd-G is for Find Again
(Next) and Shift-Cmd-G is Find Previous.

-Opt- is for the second, less-common/related meaning, or an item completely
unrelated to the unmodified Cmd-letter action.

Opt-Cmd-F is also a common browser shortcut for "Fill In Forms", and flipping
both of these just to match Safari seems unecessary.

I'd definitely agree with a WONTFIX.

If Cmd+Option+F is used for form filling, I still request for adding "Cmd+K" for
focus search box.

I'm going to put in another request for changing the shortcut to Cmd-K.  It's a) currently unused, b) far easier to remember and type than Cmd-Shift-f, and c) it makes sense thematically: K is right next to L, and the search box is right next to the address bar by default.  It seems the logical choice.
