way to pass the buck marco :P 

Well my opinion at the time and still is that for 90% of users save this 
page means save the whole thing. So if the page is only html we only save 
the html to a file and do not create a dir of images. If the page contains 
both html and images we save both. Users who want just the html can delete 
the folder of images. Also you can always view -> source and save to save 
only html. Basically I think the current design covers all use cases well 
and a preference is unneeded.

yes this would be nice although i wonder if alt+enter might be better (i 
think ctrl+enter is supposed to mean save link) I guess we really should 
have a keynav spec written down somewhere to keep this all straight.
