Why do we have two articles entitled "Keyboard Shortcuts" (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyboard_shortcuts and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyboard_Shortcuts ), plus a more complete, presumably more official article at http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard , PLUS the Help menu? Surely the Help menu is sufficient, and it's specific to the OS. There's no actual harm in the articles, except that they encourage users never to look at the Help menu. --AnotherGuest. 12 Feb 07

Redirect both to the official article. It's not necessarily bad to have our own list because we could include popular extensions and other apps, but ours aren't up to date and no one's maintaining them.--Np 23:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

The first article is more task oriented and provides advice, while linking to the Mozilla page for the actual list of shortcuts. I think they address different needs. I recommend getting rid of the second article and making the link to the Mozilla documentation more prominent. The help menu actually appears the least useful, its a subset of the windows section of the Mozilla web page on my system. Tanstaafl 00:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Different needs? They all list keyboard shortcuts. Period. If the user needs to be told to press the keys to use the keyboard shortcuts, that user will probably never find the article anyway. For basic directions, users are supposed to consult the user's manual (which doesn't exist) or the Help menu. If the help menu is incomplete or important information is omitted, that's a bug that should be fixed, and the effort should go into fixing it instead of trying to saturate the Internet with directions.

The only substantial difference I can find is that the Help menu is arranged by function, while the articles are arranged alphabetically. Other than that, the menu has 58 entries for shortcuts, while the first article has 67. The only extra entry I found was "toggle checkbox". The second article seems to be for Mozilla Suite, and maybe for Firefox -- sort of -- so it would be a mistake to link it to the www.mozilla.org Firefox article. If it covers Firefox it should say so; if not, remove the category. What it covers should be explicit and clear.

I don't see what any of these articles adds to the Help menu. Unless someone is volunteering to maintain the articles and keep them current.... My recommendation: link the first article to www.mozilla.org and remove any Firefox categories and any mention of Firefox from the second -- then let Mozilla Suite people fend for themselves on the second article. --AnotherGuest. 14 Feb 07

I've redirected "Shortcuts" to "shortcuts". I'm giving more time for discussion on what to do with "shortcuts".--Np 18:16, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
