Hi,

I've just started using firefox 1.5 on linux with french language, and I found something that could (must) be changed, and I call it a "bug".

The Alt-D hotkey leads to show the help menu ("Ai_d_e" in french) where it should take me to the adresse bar usually (in other languages and in windows plateform too). I can't even change it with keyconfig extension :(

My suggestion is that you change the hotkey for the help menu from Alt-D to Alt-I (unused). Thanks for all french geeks in advance!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch firefox in french language
2. Select Alt-D hotkey
3.

Actual Results:  
The "Aide" menu shown up

Expected Results:  
Permit me to edit the adress bar

Thanks, I wan't aware of this.

But I switch from windows to linux every day and I really don't want have to learn  two hotkeys for the same thing

Hi again,

so I just wanted to know if you will change the shorcut to the Help menu from _d_ to _i_ (no more conflicts) or will you mark this as wontfix ?

Regards,
Mehdi

This was already fixed in 1.5.0.3 (bug #334954), please keep your copy up to date. Marking WORKSFORME.

A major reorganization of accesskeys in the main window is pending to avoid further conflicts btw.
