If so, I don’t know if there is such a thing in gtk, but as I’ve already read about making hotkeys consistent across applications many times in different projects, I think it could be interesting to have something such as “stock hotkeys”, in the same way there already are stock icons, in order to ease using/managing the commonly-used “hotkeyed” actions.

This would also make easier to “re-hotkey” some actions to the user’s taste in a once-for-all fashion (gconf supports something like “overlayed” configurations, right? this could be used for application-specific overrides).

Just an idea.

Please god, don’t let this be a joke.

Cheers. I find the browser mode awful anyway, particularly for non-technical users, so I’m not bothered. I do like that the feature is invisible anyway unless you explicitly want to use tabs, as it is in Firefox.

For those who long for the days of Gnome Midnight Commander and are interested in Tabs and Split Views you may want to look at an experimental web browser called “Tab Lanes”

As far as the idea went it seemed slightly more practical than the split view system offered by Konqueror. Not that I want to encourage that sort of thing.

I’m still hoping for file management that makes it as easy to sort and manage the stream incoming files as it is to sort and file my incoming mail. Tagging and searching also offer a brighter future for file management.

Yes, of course.
