Konqueror key bindings have been modified recently (ie. in the last week or
so) for reasons similar to your own. Discussion has taken place on the
kde-usability mailing list, so you should search the archives
(
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-usability&r=1&w=2).
Other common Mozilla keybindings conflict with already defined
Konqueror
bindings, and I really don't feel it is worth the emotional & political
fight to ask that they change.
Some "unification" keybindings were decided against, because they were in fact
disrupting the unification of KDE as a whole. For eaxmple, CTRL-wheel was
proposed as a zoom control, like many other browsers do. But this was
rejected because in every Qt app, CTRL-wheel works like page up/page down.
The point is: you might be tempted to unify Konqueror with other browsers, but
don't forget that you will probably be breaking unification within KDE. So
your best bet is to CC: every change to kde-usability(a)mail.kde.org,
especially if the KDE community has any worth to you.
Any active KDE developers here? Could you please get these
checked-in
so it can be in KDE 3.2? RH/Fedora will not apply this change, and we
will only have it if upstream applies it. Please confirm in a reply
when it has been submitted.
This is a good policy. Check the current 3.2 configuration, I think has what
you want. If not, tell me what you need and I'll get kde-usability to discuss
it.
