My point is that this is an unintended "feature" hence the smiley face on my previous post.

It *now* does work just like clicking on it (using the exact same code). If you use the keyboard shortcut with the command key down it works just like clicking on it with the mouse with the command key down--oh wait, you can't *not* hold the command key when the keyboard shortcut has the command key in it.

The problem is that the keyboard shortcut is ambiguous--should the command key have the meaning of opening the link in a new tab or not? Some people want us to obey the command key in the search field (Command-Enter), and we now already do in the url field (for the same reason that we do here).

It's a bit of a dilemma... perhaps we need to add additional shortcuts for opening favorites in the current tab, or perhaps we need to again special case the opening of favorites from hot keys--but I'm not certain which makes more sense.
