Details

Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Web Console. 2. Type something. 3. Press Ctrl+A. Expected results: The entire input is selected. Actual results: The caret moved to the beginning of the line. On Windows and Linux, Ctrl+A is conventionally mapped to Select All. On Windows, Ctrl+E used to be mapped to Web Search, but due to the string freeze, we were unable to put it back for Firefox 4. While, these shortcuts are used for beginning/end of line in the command line terminal. I don't think Web Console can be equated to that.
Summary: Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E should not be mapped to beginning/end of line on Windows and Linux → In Web Console, Ctrl+A/Ctrl+E should not be mapped to beginning/end of line on Windows and Linux
ddahl just convinced that the Web Console should be perceived to be a command line terminal for the browser/web, so I only think this should be changed on Windows now.
