I'm not entirely sure this is necessary. We already have a key combination that allows for posting a comment without using the mouse: Tab and then Enter.

Thank you for reminding me that this is what I always do, the suggestion was bugging me and I couldn't figure out why.

Make sure the site always keeps the taskflow of tab taking you to submit and we're good, IIRC LJ has managed to break the taskflow with extra features several times.

tab+enter is just a way to jump to "next" box or button, it's not really a hot key combination

[matgb]

Correct. But if the tab button always takes you to the submit comment button, it will always do exactly what you want from a full hot key.

it works this way if previous active place was the message box, if by any chance? cursor moved to some other place the result wouldn't be as always

i'm not insisting on this suggestion, it would be just a nice touch in the interface
