Re: [Epiphany] shift-click for download

["Thomas F. O'Connell" <tfo netcentral com>]

For the record, there are (as usual) idiomatic differences among
platforms and browsers.

The Mac idiom is for Ctrl-click to bring up contextual menus.

Under IE (for Windows), Shift-click actually opens the link in a new
window. In fact, I'm not sure of a modifier key shortcut for bringing up
contextual menus under Windows.

I know this is a bigger issue than will be resolved by Epiphany
developers, but it's a point worth mentioning, I think.
