This simple change would make it behave exactly like Mozilla's defaults.
Everyone agrees that this should be done. I will investigate methods to do it.
Clear Location Bar
Ctrl+L Shortcut (proposed)
Simple addition makes it behave very similar to Mozilla.
In KDE 3.1, that shortcut was present.
Full Screen Mode
Ctrl+Shift+F Shortcut
F11 Alternate (proposed)
Simple addition makes it behave like Mozilla and Internet Explorer while
retaining the previous shortcut.
I'm fully in favor of this.
Activate Next Tab
Ctrl+. Shortcut
Ctrl+] Alternate
Ctrl+PageDown (proposed)
Add Mozilla's binding if possible as another alternate, or replacing the
less popular of the two current methods. Which is the less popular of the
two? The PageUp and PageDown seems to be a standard for changing between
tabs across many GNOME apps. Is there a KDE equivalent standardized?
The standard KDE shortcut for next tab is CTRL+], but I couldn't find it
written anywhere. CTRL+. was added for people with non-us keyboards who have
to press a second modifier key to reach the ]. We could add a third shortcut,
so there's no need to remove one of the other two.
There is another problem though: CTRL+PageDown is already defined as a
standard KDE-wide shortcut. See
http://developer.kde.org/documentation/standards/kde/style/keys/cursorKey....
It is used to go down one logical screen, ie. go to the next page. I can
imagine this being used in paged media like PDF documents, but on a website
it has no meaning.
I will propose this key in addition to the other two. Since it is not used,
and will not be used as defined in the standard, I think we can make an
exception.

Same as above.
New Tab
Ctrl+Shift+N Shortcut
Ctrl+T Alternate (proposed)
Open Terminal currently uses Ctrl+T. This may be a controversial change
for this reason. The Ctrl+T function of Mozilla is heavily used. If KDE
does not accept this change upstream, I may personally lobby for it for
Fedora defaults anyway. Open Terminal would then need a different default
shortcut.
This has been discussed on kde-usability and is associated with bug #59794,
which can be viewed at
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59794. There seems
to be more people for than against. I will propose a patch that closes this
bug.
To be continued...
