From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010622 BuildID: 2001062211 For example, you want to manage your bookmarks by opening the "Bookmarks" menu and select "Manage Bookmarks..." command. Using keyboard navigation only, you have to: 1. press and hold <ALT> key, 2. press and release <B> key, 3. release <Alt> key, and then: 4. press and hold <ALT> key, 5. press and release <M> key, 6. release <Alt> key, It would speed up key nav speed by saving Steps 3 and 4. I can do it in Windows Notepad. Can Moz do it?
->aaronl. punt as needed. i see this on winnt and linux [2001.06.25.xx am comm branch bits]. using dr_j's test above, if you don't release the Alt key at step (3), you end up dismissing the Bookmarks menu.

these should work: <alt>;b;m <alt>-b;m a-b means a in conjunction w/ b. a;b means a released before pressing b

Confused. Is this request to have this work? 1. Press Alt. 2. Press B (Bookmarks menu opens) 3. Press M (Manage Bookmarks window opens) 4. Release Alt.
welp according to nc4 and notepad, that general feature should work :o. reporter: imoi the two strokes i described are much easier than the one you're asking us to support. But this bug is fine since we should support what you're asking for...

Well, to tell the truth, I can get to the Pref menu real fast simply by pressing Alt-E-E. Yeah, I'm a Pref tweaking freak... I looooove tweaking pref.
Accepting and targetting, based on my interpretation on 2001-06-25.
