A shorter text listing, or even an agreed-upon icon or symbol like [□] (a text box) might be appropriate. Or maybe some fly-over text that could be turned off in the user preferences. It's nice functionality for those of us who don't remember all of the keyboard tricks. Cheers, Scott.

I just don't see the need for it when browsers all have an easy way (some, like Mozilla, with one click) to accomplish the same thing. -- Chris Altmann
