Ctrl-E (Group your tabs) is too close to the Ctrl-R... and causes mis-types and confusion. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reach for Ctrl-R (without looking at keyboard) 2. Hit Ctrl-E instead 3. Tab Group screen pops up Actual Results: Tab Group Screen Pops Up (undesired) Expected Results: Screen Refresh... or "nothing" if wrong key hit. I'm not sure what all control keys are used...

Ctrl+E is a near universal hotkey for moving to the search box. Ctrl+E jumps to the search box in: - Firefox 3 - Internet Explorer - Opera - Google Chrome - Safari - Windows Shell / File Explorer (Vista and 7) Ctrl+E should be restored to move the cursor to the search box, since it has become the de facto "move me to the search box hotkey."
Panorama shortcut has been changed to Ctrl-Shift-E, so I guess this bug should be closed
Indeed. Panorama shortcut was closed in bug 624588.
