Maybe none. I don't really care that much about it, honestly. It's just
not something I spend a whole lot of time doing to begin with.
Personally I expect selecting a menu item to do something useful. While
it seems to be a nice feature, I don't consider holding a key on the
keyboard while clicking a title bar to be any more efficient than simply
editing the URL directly by hand.  Like I said, to each, his own. Choice
is good. : )
