There's some documentation on how the key binding system works in http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html It's not specific to the editor; the editor uses XBL and XUL key bindings just as other components do. > 1) Would the editor team be interested in doing this? Do you have specific suggestions for key bindings you think are wrong in the current tree, which should be changed? If so, by all means file bugs on the issues. Or do you just want to make your own custom bindings? In that case, the customizing document is what you want. > 2) Are modifiers possible. (i.e. Command-Shift-P) Yes. There's also a special modifier, "accel", which means "the modifier used for standard mozilla bindings", which is settable but defaults to ctrl on windows and linux (though many linux users change it to alt), or cmd on mac. In addition to accel, you can use shift, control, and alt; on a mac I believe you can use meta to mean cmd, but meta doesn't currently work on non-mac platforms. ...Akkana
