Excellent idea.  I've wanted this too.  I've also noticed that in order to get a page to re-load (via the menu selection) I have to flush the cache first.  I find this to be a hassle: when I say "reload", I want OmniWeb to say "how fast?" :-)

(Has anybody else noticed this one?)

ANOTHER SUGGESTION:  It's nice to be able to put the URL field in focus with the "g" key.  I'd like to see this extended so that the TAB key tabs through the available text-fields if forms are displayed, as in the case of search engines.  That way I don't have to click on the search-engine text-field, either.

P.S.  How about making page-up and page-down keys perform their function properly?  My Navigator-using brethren have been giving me shit about that...
