Bug Description

Pressing the Home or WWW key on a keyboard should open Firefox according to the Internet test in the ubuntu testcases wiki:

  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/Keyboard/Hotkeys#line-69

However, after testing on a Eee 701SD and a 900, this doesn't happen. Instead, if there are icons on the desktop, the one closest to the top left is highlighted.

Note that I am running the latest packages as of writing this bug.

I'm glaring at the EeePC 701SD keyboard, and can't see what key you expected to open the web browser. There's a "Home" key, which brings the cursor to the beginning of the line; I don't think it should open the web browser. Perhaps the test case meant a home key with a little house drawn on top of it which would be an additional multimedia key (in addition to the arrow going to the north west which means beginning of line)?

I'm marking this bug as invalid because I think this is normal behavior, and there's no multimedia key on the 701SD, let me know if this is incorrect.
