Ctrl + B shortcut support

Hi,
When adding support for keyboard shortcut for Ctrl + B, its behavior is different on firefox vs Internet Explorer.
Ctrl + B works fine in firefox but doesn't work in Internet Explorer as it opens "organize Favourites"
Is there any way to add support for Ctrl + B, in a TLF based editor for Internet Explorer.
Thanks,
Ahmed

I'm not sure I have a good answer to this. Flash Player is in the browser as a plug-in, and it can only pass along key events that it gets from the browser. Some key events get trapped by the browser and not passed along. Each browser has a different set of what it captures, and I am not up on which keys are available on which browsers. But the problem is not specific in any way to TLF. I think it would be straightfoward to write a test application that you could run in the different browsers and see which keys get passed through and which don't.
