472709 - Add keyboard shortcut for opening selected files in downloads window

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: Downloading, enhancement)

Description

[Ilya Sherman]

When the downloads window is focused and some downloads are selected, we should have a keyboard shortcut for opening the downloads (more precisely, the subset of them that are completed, etc.).

Possible shortcuts:
 * command-down arrow
   - Requires moving the right hand off the home row
 * return
   - Not used elsewhere in the OS for opening files
 * command-o
   - Masks existing shortcut for opening a file within Camino

Consensus on IRC was leaning toward the command-down arrow shortcut.

We should probably also think about how to make this shortcut discoverable...

Per the meeting today, Cmd-Down Arrow it is.

Attachment: Patch to respond to cmd-down-arrow

This patch causes the window to react to the command-down-arrow shortcut.

We should still think about how to make this shortcut discoverable.

Landed on cvs trunk; a11y hooray!

As for discoverability, at the very least it will be documented on the Keyboard Shortcuts page come release time.
