Details

(Whiteboard: p-safari)

There are a number of keybindings that only make sense in multiple lines text fields but are caught in single-line textfields. PageUp, PageDown, Cmd-UpArrow, Cmd-DownArrow, are included in this category. These should not be caught when the cursor is active in a single line text field. Instead they should be passed to the browser and work on the main view. Single line text fields include TEXT form fields and the location bar.
Confirming
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
In gecko, the keybindings are defined here: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/xbl/builtin/mac/platformHTMLBindings.xml http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/xbl/builtin/htmlBindings.xml I don't see PageUp and PageDown defined for input fields in my chimera tree (almost a month old?). I don't know why this would be broken (without actually debugging it). Command-Up and Command-Down could be removed (I'm indifferent at the moment) since Up and Down arrow keys have the same functionality.
Simon can you confirm with newer builds ?
in my own build from about 2 weeks ago, PageUp and PageDown do nothing in INPUT fields and in the URL bar.

Safari passes them from both <input> and <textarea>.

Did anyone ever look into simply adding the keybindings to the appropriate file? I sort of vaguely remember doing that for one of our keybindings bugs but I didn't comment about it failing to work (or not) here, so I'm assuming this wasn't the one.
