Shouldn't the default Firefox accesskey different on the Mac be the same as the Windows and Linux access keys (alt-shift)? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable Spaces in OS X 2. Go to http://www.otago.ac.nz and type ctrl-2 in Firefox Actual Results: Spaces in OS X changes to the second Space.
Sorry, that second paragraph should read as follows: Shouldn't the default Firefox accesskey on the Mac be the same as the Windows and Linux access keys (alt-shift)?
