Anybody else find it annoying that in the latest version of Safari (1.3) they changed the view source keyboard shortcut from option+apple+v to option+apple+u.

I used to be able to do it with my left hand alone...using both hands is just way more excersize than any one person should endure when trying to view source.

Thus, creating the most ginormous can of whoop ass the world as ever seen.

If they had to change it for whatever reason, why they didn't just change it to Cmd-U like FiyaFawx is beyond me. Option key indeed.

It was changed to match the view source command in Mail. Given that I use Mail's view source function probably 5 times more often than that of Safari, I always used the Mail key command in Safari. Personally, I'm glad it changed.

I have yet to find a rich-text editor that works with Safari, but I'd be willing to bet that Cmd-U is used to underline text in such editors.

I'm a long time Quark user, so underline for me is Cmd-Shift-U.

I'd be just as happy with IE5's long forgotten Command-E.

I just dislike the option key, it's not comfortable for anything except Page Setup in XPress.
