Indeed, the menubar is for actions used rarely enough that they don't need a 
fast shortcut... but making the option yet another level away seems too 
much for my taste. It's true that my menubar lies away in a kicker panel 
anyway.

Moreover, technically, the feature needs special support in kde/qt libraries 
and the window manager. While we may convince the KWin maintainer that's a 
feature worth supporting (Hi Lubos!), it will be hard to convince other 
window manager developers to do the same.

Again, I concur. "Up" may not be an action mainstream sites care about 
nowadays (then again, most don't care about html either), but I find myself 
using it quite often.
