Yes, it did not occur to me that this function is under 'hotkeys' (duh).
I found a master listing for FF so it is fine now.

Hmmm. I cannot find 'qpdfviewer' even as an overlay?  How did you install it?

No not really. No matter what I do no seamonkey, it give a black screen
of death, if I have it default to acroread. So now I set it to ask me
and I can download if I need to, then use acroread from the CLI.  Extra
steps I did not use to have to do; but, I'll live with it for now.
Chromium wants to put too many packages on the system, but I may install
it just for grins (thx Neil).

OK so all is workable now...... sheash.....  hotkeys.......I need sleep....


thx,
