[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature and shift-click in Firefox

[Pedro Baracho]

I have seen two examples of handlers to Click event:
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.html
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click-handler.html

I think you will have to create a handler to Keyboard events also, so you
can capture the Shift+Key. In fact, I think you will only need that. Try
adding
     multipleKey: "shiftKey"
to your SelectFeature control, so you override the shift+click behaviour of
Firefox.

Just a question: FF opens another window when you shift+click a link, i.e.
<a> tag. Why is the <a> tag there on your externalGraphic in the first
place??
