Make Firefox follow the Gnome HIG with respect to Ctrl-Q

[Brian Rowe]

Binary package hint: ubufox

The Gnome HIG requires an application to quit when the user types Ctrl-Q (http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-keyboard.html.en#standard-shortcuts).

I have created a branch of ubufox which resolves this: https://code.launchpad.net/~briprowe/ubufox/ubufox-ctrl-q

I can't speak for earlier versions, but the Linux version of Firefox 3.0b5pre that I'm using quits on Ctrl-Q.

[Brian Rowe (briprowe)]

Ah.

I'm using the current version on Gutsy (2.0.0.12).

[J.M. Hardin (jmhardin)]

Someone should check the Firefox 3 that's in the Hardy repo (I don't use it) and verify that this is indeed fixed, but I think we can change this to resolved based on what I'm seeing. My current Firefox nightly Build ID is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031504 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008031504.

Also it is impossible to select the "Cancel" button with a keyboard shortcut. (something like "Alt+C" for example)
