User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090710 Minefield/3.6a1pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090710 Minefield/3.6a1pre When the tab-switching widget is active Ctrl-K (Cmd+K on Mac) has no effect, but it should either have the same effect as Ctrl-F (or Cmd+F) and search open tabs or close the widget and search current search engine (such as Yahoo). If it will search tabs, the search box should change from user-selected search engine (eg Yahoo) and to tab-search engine (with right logos and such). Tab search should maybe list in the drop-down at the searchbox (and either point to some about:tabs?q=search page or pop up the widget). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open 3+ tabs 2.press Ctrl/Cmd-tab and release tab (but not Ctrl/Cmd) 3.press K (Ctrl/Cmd and K should now be held down and no others) Actual Results: [Nothing happens] Expected Results: A:the "search tabs" box should be activated [note:Ctrl-F already does this] or B:the widget should close and the search box (by default on the right side of the awesomebar/URLbar) should get the focus
I'm leaning towards focusing the panel's search field. Based on bug 465076, this would be a two-line patch.

The search field has been removed in the latest version of the Ctrl-Tab UI.
