Key combi Firefox SeaMonkey Alt+1 Go to first tab Activate Browser window Alt+2 Go to second tab Activate Mail window Alt+3 Go to third tab (Nothing, used to be Instant Messenger) Alt+4 Go to fourth tab Activate Composer Alt+5 Go to fifth tab Activate Address Book Alt+6 Go to sixth tab Activate IRC Chat
Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDn work the same though.
Actually, Alt+{1,2,4,5,6} doesn't do anything for me, but Ctrl+{1,2,4,5,6} serve as keyboard shortcuts to the individual components. Ctrl+3 most likely was the Calendar rather than Instant Messenger (which would be ChatZilla all along).

I'm so sorry, I have no idea why I wrote Alt. It was always Ctrl of course. I edited my message. Also took the opportunity to verify, but Ctrl+3 was indeed AIM in Netscape 7, not IRC.

Ahhh, was wondering why that one didn't do anything!

Ok, this must have been a Netscape thing, given their connection with AOL.

Command Firefox SeaMonkey
Show History Sidebar Ctrl+H F9 (whole sidebar) Show All History Ctrl+Shift+H Ctrl+H Show Bookmarks Sb Ctrl+B/Ctrl+I F9 (whole sidebar) Show All Bookmarks Ctrl+Shift+B Ctrl+B Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P Ctrl+Shift+B Bookmark All Tabs Ctrl+Shift+D (no shortcut) Search Ctrl+K/Ctrl+E Ctrl+Shift+S
Urlbar open URL in new tab: Alt+Enter Ctrl+Enter
I didn't like the fact that virtually the only way to open the feature-rich sidebar in SM was to press F9, so I'd like to point out that my MonkeyFix extension adds "Bookmarks" and "History" toolbar buttons, à la Firefox, to open the appropriate parts of the sidebar. Makes it more discoverable.

There's also the menu item View -> Show/Hide -> Sidebar

The toolbar button for the sidebar is a very good idea and it should have been part of SeaMonkey from the start. Going to the menu is very inconvenient. Pressing F9 is convenient if you are using keyboard but since the sidebar is mostly operated with mouse then this means switching between keyboard and mouse - not convenient. This is one of the reasons I rarely used the sidebar - I was too lazy to open it  If we are at extensions then let me point out that the newest version of Mouse Gestures Suite I'm currently maintaining has an option to define a gesture for opening and closing the sidebar.

This is a FAQ, make a new topic if you want to have a discussion.

So SM supports HTML5 and all other modern features? I'd gladly move from FF to something more classic looking if it support canvas and webgl, especially after chromeization of Firefox's interface.

SeaMonkey supports all the HTML5 that Firefox supports. Also canvas an webGL. We use the same Gecko engine. The main difference is the front end UI. Phil

And now the fact that you can actually develop on it because extensions don't need to be signed.

For Mac OS, it is Cmd plus the number.

The only way I can open the sidebar with Mac SeaMonkey with a shortcut is to use Option-PageUp or Option-PageDown. Those are supposed to open previous or next tab in sidebar, but those are the only ones that will open it at all.

Yes, that's a known Mac thing (and correctly documented so in the General SeaMonkey Shortcuts section of the F1 Help content).
