It's simple. When using a browser, I regard interoperability between browsers 
higher than integration within the DE. That's the current behaviour of 
*every* major browser out there, I don't see a reason why Konqueror should 
break that.

For example, take keyboard shortcuts. Ctrl+R has always been used as a means 
to reload a page. NN supports it, Mozilla supports it, IE supports it, Opera 
supports it, but Konqueror does *not*. Same thing for Ctrl+W. It closes the 
window in NN, Mozilla, IE, Opera, but not in Konqueror. This is 
*inconsistent*.

Luckily, one can define alternate shortcuts, that's what I did for Reload, and 
therefore I never complained. However, this won't work for Ctrl+W as it needs 
more intelligence than the shortcut handling is able to provide.

Note that I'm not insisting that this behaviour is the default for Konqueror, 
but having this intelligence removed makes it impossible to restore browser 
interoperability.

And now the inevitable: Please make it configurable.
