89410 - help window lacks key shortcuts

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Documentation Graveyard :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

(transferring this over from bugscape 2553).
Need to have Ctrl + W hooked up for help window. Beyond being a good-window
thing, this is an important accessibility issue.

smfr, aaronl: would you mind taking a look at this patch and giving it your
stamp? This works as expected on my linux machine, but I'm not sure there isn't
some better method/aesthetic for getting this done in the help window--like
importing the key/cmd from elsewhere or whatever. Thanks a lot

We need more than Command-W. What about Select All, Copy, Find, Find Again?

Maybe the Help window needs a full-blown menu bar. If it doesn't have one, things 
will suck on Mac.

smfr: are these things I can get by importing from somewhere, or do I have to
cook them up myself in the help window. And does menubar mean menu on the other
platforms?

I was thinking that Ctrl+W would be a small good we could check into a limbo
build. If I have time and know-how, maybe I can get these other commands in too
(particularly if they are defined in some reusable form elsewhere).

Look at the view source XUL; that's probably close to what you want.

Marking FIXED. The help window now has a useful set of shortcut keys: ctrl+p,
ctrl+w, ctrl+a, etc.
