With keyboard shortcuts, in the menu, or both?

This should be doable by (someone) writing an extension or two.

I am not sure that this currently can be done properly with a Python
extension. It would probably require a C extension.

First, Epiphany is *the* GNOME browser. Xfce support is not that big a
priority, if at all, AFAIK.

Second, I too use Epiphany in Xfce. You can configure the mail
application to use in gnome-default-applications-properties (run in
terminal/from run dialog).

If you don't have gnome-default-applications-properties on your system,
then you will have to configure it manually in gconf:

STRING /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/command (set to command line
to use, with %s in place of the e-mail address).
BOOLEAN /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/enabled (set to true).
BOOLEAN /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/mailto/needs_terminal (set to true
if your e-mail client needs to run in a terminal, otherwise false).

> - shift+delete to delete wrong suggestions in url bar

Like, when one want to go to google.com, but writes goggle dot com by
mistake, and then wants to remove goggle dot com from history? That can
be done from the History window (Go > History [Ctrl+H]).

Epiphany already uses .po files for translations.

What do you mean by "embed"? and which third party extension?
