Ctrl + Shift + B appears to do nothing on Linux installs. And it is not intuitive to replace O with B. Why is the keyboard shortcut for Show All Bookmarks on Linux installs not "Ctrl + Shift + B" like it is on Windows installs? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. type Ctrl + Shift + B 2. notice how nothing happens 3. Actual Results: nothing happens Expected Results: typing Ctrl + Shift + B should open the Show All Bookmarks menu like it does on Windows' boxes.
this has been done in bug 431011, and the reasoning seems to be that GTK2 reserves Accel+shift+[A-F] for its own purposes.
