Comment 2 for bug 715082

1. I know that Firefox has such behaviour (I wrote it in my bugreport actually). And this had been definitely a huge advantage of Midori over Firefox. So, is it gone now? If so, just imagine how "comfortable" it is to change the layout each time I have to search something in the document (and this happens very often). And remember that there are many people in the world who has more than 2 different keyboard layouts or variants. What can you suggest them to do? To switch all their layouts round and around each time?
Such cases make me think that people start forgetting that there are some languages in the world besides English. I have no idea why in the world do Firefox developers have such policy. I can only say from the end user's point of view - my point of view. I usually type using all my 10 fingers (blind-typing or touch-typing - whatever you wish). And in such situation the button '/' is under my little finger on the right hand. Meanwhile the '/' symbol in Russian layout is far from being under it and also it may be at the different places on different keyboards.

2. Everything worked fine and convenient before Midori 0.2.9. Why change this wonderful behaviour to such "Firefox-like" one? This IS one of the things which make Midori better that Firefox (and there are actually just few of them).

P.S. In the case of making Midori as much Firefox-like as possible, why not just using Firefox itself instead? That's the point - Midori is an independent and stand-alone web-browser with its own features, policy and traditions. What's wrong about that?
