These are the Accelerators that are Must Haves for all parts of Netscape6. Additional Accelerators will be addressed in another bug. Accelerators that differ in functionality depending on which app you are in have their own Must Have and Additional buggs Alt - Alt on Windows and Linux, Option on MacOS (unless stated otherwise) Ctrl - Ctrl on Windows and Linux, Cmd on MacOS (unless stated otherwise) Accelerator Behavior Ctrl + A Select All Ctrl + C Copy Ctrl + G Find Again Ctrl + M New Mail Message Ctrl + P Print Ctrl + Q Quit Ctrl + V Paste Ctrl + W Close Ctrl + Y Redo Ctrl + X Cut Ctrl + Z Undo Ctrl + 1 Navigator Ctrl + 2 Messenger Ctrl + 4 Composer Ctrl + 6 Calendar Ctrl + 7 Radio Ctrl + 9 Instant Messenger Ctrl+Shift+2 Address Book Cmd .

Adding dependency on bug 52217, accelerators with numbers show up in menus but don't respond to that key sequence.
Depends on: 52217
I think I have all of these working (except the numeral-based accelerators, see 52217) EXCEPT: Calendar & Radio, I don't see these menu items anywhere. Also, do we need an item for Net2Phone?
Also, what about IRC Chat?
IRC Chat, and AIM ctrl+3 and ctrl+shift+1 were message center ctrl+5 was conference We could easily give them to AIM/IRC Chat. Personally I'd like 3 for Chat, and aim can have shift+3 or 5.
Also, is there some sort of order for the numbered accelerators? E.g it'd be nice if the Task menu's 1st item was "1", 2nd was "2", etc.
AIM was 9 in 4.x, so we have to decide between history & order. Assuming history wins for now. IRC, Net2Phone need items, and I'd like to get a better one for AddressBook. How about: 1 Navigator 2 Mail 3 IRC (was Message Center) 4 Composer 5 Address Book (was Conference) 6 7 Net2Phone (was radio) 8 9 AIM 0 Note this would leave 6, 8, 0 free for other things.
OK I Am confused I am using the 4.x on the Mac and the PC They are different Mac is: Mac PC Navigator 1 1 Mail 2 2 Composer 3 4 Calander 4 6 AIM 5 9 Radio 8 7 Adressbook Shift 8 Shift 2 News Groups Shift 3 So first we should have 1 for bothe they should be inorder on the menu and it would be nice if we gave the high use high profile items the lower numbers. Remember AIm is now a targeted high use item for 6.0 Here I think we should break from duplicating the 4.x and just do it right for 6. This also preserves the order for the taskbars main items. So Browser 1 Mail 2 AIM 3 Composer 4 Addressbook 5 Avaliable 6 Net2Phone 7 IRC 8 Avaliable 9 When a user has not loaded aome of the components like Mail that item would not be in the menu so there may be some skipping but we already have that.
Hrm, IRC Chat is part of mozilla's distribution, AIM isn't. In the interest of pairings, we could do: 1: Navigotor [C], Composer [CS] 2: Mail [C], Address Book [CS] 3: IRCChat and AIM - Mozilla.org's interests and Netscape.com's interest diverge here. I'd prefer IRCChat to get C3 and AIM CS3, but the other way around is fine. 4: Net2Phone [C], Conference [CS] 5: Radio [C] 6: Calendar [C] C=Control [technically XULKey], S=Shift [I think shift is never xulkey and always available?] Does anyone from international object to this? This leaves CS5, CS6 and 7-9,0
I don't like control-shift, and vote for trying the order that lake suggests.
adding meta... lisa, should this be chopped up into smaller "quanta"? (see last comments in bug 51600.) for example, could the need for accelerators for numbers be a separate bug? the reason i'm concerned here is that the list of must-haves here is rather broad --and the individual feature might get lost (as in the old meta bug 22529, before the keyboard navigation component existed). thx!

The numbers should already be done in theory. I don't know when they will be checked in, and I am prety sure that the Mcafee is the guy for these. Let me know if I am wrong.
Fixed. Had to re-order some higher-numbered task items, but they've got accelerators now. Please see bug 52217 about numbers not working as accelerators on linux (maybe mac too).

okay, i'm doing a semi-rubberstamp verification (based on 2000.09.18.08/6 opt comm bits). exceptions should/will be filed as seperate bugs. for linux, winnt and mac, the following accelerated shortcuts are correct: 1 - navigator 2 - mail 3 - instant messenger 4 - composer 5 - address book i've found that the accelerator for Net2Phone on winnt is ctrl+9, not ctrl+7 as lake suggested above (methinks). let me know what the expected value for Net2Phone should be (if what i see is wrong, i'll be happy to file a new bug, prolly in bugscape since it's nsonly).
