I've just wandered around a few people here and asked them to search for things in their web browser; some were Firefox people. The Firefox people are about evenly divided between using / to search and using Ctrl+F. (IE people were about evenly divided between Ctrl-F and using the menus; no Firefox users used the menus). That being the case, I'm inclined to suggest that people in general either (a) use Firefox and use / or (b) don't know that / does anything and therefore don't press it. Since it doesn't collide with anything else (as far as I know) I can't see a downside to implementing it; vi people and Firefox people may use it, and everyone else never presses it. All IMO, obviously. sil _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
