In IE it show the list of all the URL from the address bar when F4 key is pressed (anywhere inside the window or within the address bar itself) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Should have listed the URLs

Alt+down appears to work.

(In reply to comment #1) > Alt+down appears to work. F4 doesn't work any more either.

Note: this works in Seamonkey's autocomplete widget.

I've moved this up in priority because the URL bar is on the main screen and represents the first impression for the quality of our product.

+ so long as you provide a patch ;-)

Adds the F4 key to toggle the autocomplete dropdown's appearance. Only works when focus is in the location bar.

I'm working on getting this to work globally.

(In reply to comment #8) > You mean it would fix bug 283273 as well? (Search bar) The current patch works for all elements that use the autocomplete widget, so it does have an effect on the search bar. As you said in 283273 comment 1, however, the search bar has two different dropdowns and I'm not sure how the keyboard access should work in that case. This patch makes F4 toggle the dropdown history of previous searches. What this patch doesn't do, however, is let you use F4 anywhere in the browser to focus the location bar and toggle it's history dropdown, as in IE. That's what I meant by "working globally".

Comment on attachment 178058 [details] [diff] [review] Patch The Alt+Down & F4 keys should always do the same thing as clicking on the down pointing arrow. Gavin, are you still planning to work on this?

(In reply to comment #10) > Gavin, are you still planning to work on this? Yes, I'll try to do this tonight.

As far as I can tell the latest patch still doesn't work unless the address bar is focused. When the adress bar is focused it works as expected.

I'm not so keen of emulating the behavior of IE where F4 works from anywhere. It just seems unnecessary. Alt+D gets you there. F4 can drop down the menu from there. If it's so important to emulate that, please file a separate RFE something like "F4 should drop down address bar URL list when web page focused"

Comment on attachment 179637 [details] [diff] [review] add Alt+Down/Up and F4 as equivalents to the dropdown button It will get checked in with the #ifdef XP_MACOSX

Comment on attachment 179637 [details] [diff] [review] add Alt+Down/Up and F4 as equivalents to the dropdown button Should we be using F4 like that on OS X? Function keys are not really for app use over here, as I understand it.

Comment on attachment 179637 [details] [diff] [review] add Alt+Down/Up and F4 as equivalents to the dropdown button please #ifndef mac the F4 key.

Comment on attachment 179637 [details] [diff] [review] add Alt+Down/Up and F4 as equivalents to the dropdown button Sorry, I missed that comment when reading the patch and review request. Approved for 1.1a2, please wait to commit.

Aaron already said he'd check it in with the Mac check, but here's an update patch for good measure.
