Moz RC1 questions
What's the keystroke to cycle through tabs in tabbed browsing? (That section is missing in the online help.)
I've got the mousewheel set to scroll by one line with no modifier, but it won't move; and to enlarge/shrink text with Alt pressed, and again no luck.
Otherwise, looks good so far.

Well that's about inconvenient as hell
I end up having to take my right hand off the mouse to do that one. With the regular "change windows" keystroke it's just alt-tab with the left hand. As much as I like how tabbed browsing only adds one item to the taskbar, if I need two hands to cycle through them I'll just use multiple windows again.

I usually just click on each tab.
Ctrl PgUP/DN doesn't bother me too much, but one thing I don't like is that once you reach past the last tab it'll go back to the beginning. I'd like it to stop at each end, rather than wrap around.
Hang on, this is open source. I should stop complaining and start coding, right?

I quite agree.
It should be something more convenient. Ctrl+Tab springs to mind as a good alternative*, if the Moz veterans could tell if this can be easily changed and how.

* Opera supports this key, BTW, though most Opera users use Opera's own custom keys for flipping through windows (1 and 2).

Ctrl-Tab would probably be 'naughty'
with regard to Windows, anyway, as the tabs aren't really windows of an MDI.
But yeah, it took me forever to figure out it was ctrl-PgUP/Dn - tried many combinations of keys before I found it.

But NS doesn't have an MDI mode.
Although since the tabs a bit like full window MDI mode, Ctrl+Tab would make sense.
Besides, Windows itself doesn't consider Ctrl+Tab special; AFAIR, the MDI handling is done almost entirely by the client (or a client library).

Er, that was my point
But that point was made on the assumption that Ctrl+Tab was a 'reserved' Windows mechanism for switching between the D's of an MDI.
Does Ctrl+Tab have some kind of common use in the X windowing system world? (or any other non-Windows world) If so I guess it'd explain why Moz doesn't use it.

Oh. Ah. Right. Okay.
As regarding MDI in Windows, yeah - to Windows itself, Ctrl+Tab is a reasonably ordinary keystroke.
I myself haven't encountered Ctrl+Tab in the X Windows world. Note I'm not trying to be unfair to the Moz developers, but I find it completely in character for the project to have chosen Ctrl+PgUp/Ctrl+PgDn instead of considering Ctrl+Tab.

I'm working on it

I'm working on it, I've figured out where the tab key bindings are, and how bindings are supposed to be set. But so far my trying to override them has just messed up Mozilla.
My last try set the height of the login window to 0 and reset my EMail configuration. So I know it's reading my changes, but not quite doing what I want.
