Mozilla's (Firefox's) keyboard shortcuts

Is there any way to change Mozilla's (Firefox's) keyboard shortcuts? I just lost a fairly long weblog entry I was writing because I hit CTRL+W by mistake (in Dvorak, CTRL+V, for paste, is right next to it). I've always hated the CTRL+W shortcut (in any program)... that's what CTRL+F4 is for.

Have you found any solution to this problem yet? I'm coming from the Opera Browser, and I realized I'm addicted to the Ctrl+Space keyboard shortcut for returning to the home page. Alt+Home cannot be issued with one hand, and that's annoying...

Sorry Marty, I don't think there's a way to do it. FYI, here's a list of Firefox's keyboard shortcuts.

That's a pity... well, I filed an RFE in Firefox' Bugzilla database; let's see if something happens :-)

Cool. Can you post a link to bugzilla so I can keep track of it?

I filed the "I want Ctrl-Space to bring up the Home page" RFE, but that had already been discussed and turned down some time ago...

Oh, I was hoping you had asked for a way to have keyboard shortcuts be customizable.

Aargh. The Control-W annoys me too. As a Vim user, I always use that to delete a word. And I lost multiple entries pressing Control-W ...

Hope you find out how to do it soon. Be sure to let me know!!
