Pressing Alt-F in the Manage Bookmarks window doesn't load the find dialog.
Loading it from the Edit menu works fine.

So, I haven't been following the whole modifier key saga.
Ctrl-F loads the search bookmarks dialog (like it reads next to the menuitem)
and Alt-F drops down the File menu. That looks right to me. Blake, sairuh, does that
coincide with the current prevailing party line?

claudius, on linux (using the default shortcut bindings), Ctrl+F brings up the
Find in Page dialog, and Alt+F does drop down the File menu.

to get to Search Bookmarks on linux you'd need to:
1. Alt+S to dropdown the Search menu.
2. hit the 'b' key (menu access) to bring up the Search Bookmarks dialog.

sorry, i was thinking that you started in the main browser window (only read the
last comment). so, yeah, claudius, you're right about ctrl+f bringing up that
dialog from within bookmarks. :)

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!
