Access keys in Firefox 2.0

Say, turns out that what used to be my favorite function in Monkeyspaw, looking up a DNS registration, is now Shift-Alt-D, rather than merely Alt-D. Firefox 2.0 has assigned all access keys to the Shift-Alt combination to activate, in order to avoid conflicting with other browser keystroke commands. Shift-Alt-D in particular is more useful, since a lot of people apparently use Alt-D to type in the location bar. I don't personally, since Ctrl-L does the same thing, and is more mnemonic with Ctrl-K, the quick search box.

Anyway, this was surprising. You can tell I'm a little behind the curve in my browser upgrades.

Aside from this minor change, Monkeyspaw seems to work just dandy in FF 2.0.
