92284 - Change indenting menuitems (bad keybindings)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98624

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect, P4)

Description

[Håkan Waara]

What you see now:

Increase indent    Ctrl+]
Decrease indent    Ctrl+[

What you should see:

Indent    Tab
Outdent   Shift+Tab

FYI, Tab and Shift+Tab already works. So it's redundancy and simplification
you're fixing if you fix this bug, and of course, making it easier for newcomers
to discover Tab instead of some obscure shortcut like "Ctrl+]"  :)

actually tab and shift-tab don't work for blockquotes (see bug #92287)

Comment 2

[rubydoo123]

no, ctrl+] and ctrl+[ are the key sequences, tab is already overloaded

Comment 3

[Håkan Waara]

Please reconsider this:

Tab is more logical, which key do you press on they keyboard if you wanna indent
text in a plaintext texteditor? tab.

Shift+tab is the reverse. outdent.

Both these works, as of today, why is this wontfix?

verified. REOPEN if you disagree.

Comment 5

[Kathleen :Brade]

actually we need to change these keybindings:  they are broken on Win ME (another 
bug filed on this issue) and they are not localizable/functional on all non-US 
keyboards.

off to Kathy -- Kathy I don't understand why this is reopened based on the tab
bug, but if you want it open, you got it

Comment 7

[rubydoo123]

since this is so related to bug 92287, I am reassigning this to cmanske. The 
whole tab function needs to be resolved and this is just one part of the more 
serious issue.

Charley, could this one part get resolved for the 9.4 timeframe?

Comment 8

[Kathleen :Brade]

move to 0.9.4; Charley/Sujay--please verify that you see a keybinding in the menu 
on Macintosh.

Comment 9

[sujay]

Mac has Command] for increase indent and Command[ for decrease indent
under the format menu.

Comment 10

[Kathleen :Brade]

yes, today the Mac does show a keybinding.  When the fix for this bug is checked 
in, does it show tab and shift-tab or is it blank?

Comment 11

[sujay]

I'll verify what Kathy wants after this bug is marked RESOLVED-FIXED.

Comment 12

[Syd Logan]

No activity on this bug for a month. Is 0.9.5 realistic?

Comment 13

[Syd Logan]

spam composer change

Comment 14

[Syd Logan]

I'll judge this as nsbranch-

Comment 15

[Charles Manske]

There's no point to changing the keybindings or accel text on the menuitems
until the complete problem of how tab key works is finished. Much of the 
discussion here is about what tab key should do, which is main topic of 
bug 98624. So it seems better to dup this to that bug; I'll not that we need to
be sure the accel text in menus is correct as part of that work.
