349938 - Keyboard shortcut for "Open in New Tab" is inconsistent

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 301888

(Firefox :: Keyboard Navigation, defect)

Description

[Oleg Smirnov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060209 Debian/1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-2 Firefox/1.5.0.1

The keyboard shortcut for "Open in New Tab" is not consistent between the Bookmarks panel and the page view. When right-clicking on a link, the shortcut for "Open in New Tab" is "T". When right-clikcing on a bookmark, the same shortcut is "W". 

What's even worse, hitting "T" in the bookmark context menu -- as I'm prone to do, having gotten used to doing it with links -- actually DELETES the bookmark (since it's assigned to the "Cut" option). I find this a very frustrating UI inconsistency.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on link, hit "T"
2. Right-click on bookmark, hit "T"
3. Observe the difference. :)
