Screen shot - chrome shortcut key for Edit page

on Chrome, I have to use Shift-Alt-E, but it does work. On IE, the "Edit" link gets the focus.

Does the hover label of Chrome indicate the shortcut correctly ? Cause then I see no problem here.

This probably means that the Windows Chrome acceskey combination changed somewhere along the line. We should try and figure out at which version it changed, so we can properly update the tooltip.

I'm quite sure that the Google Chrome issue was fixed a while ago. Bug 29753.

The explorer issue.. I don't know about.

Chrome shows Alt-Shift-E in tooltip, and works.

In IE8, I find that pressing *any* hotkey moves focus there, but I always have to hit Enter to activate.
