Allow rebind of Help/F1 shortcut key in Firebug's Customize Shortcut dialog


Posted on Mar 29, 2012 by Swift Elephant

Having used Maxthon in the past, I've gotten used to rebinding a few keys in Firefox using Keyconfig extension: F1 for new tab, F2 for switching to previous tab, F3 for switching to next tab.

When Firebug has focus, the F1 key opens the Firebug FAQ page. As you know there is a Firebug dialog "Customize Shortcuts", but it doesn't have a field for the key to open 'Help'.

Please add an hotkey field for "Help" (currently bound to F1) to the "Customize Shortcuts" dialog.

I'm using: Firebug version 1.9.1, in Firefox 11.0, on Win 7 x64

Thanks!

As I couldn't wait for the next release :-) I upgraded to 1.10.0a5 and applied your changes to my local copy of the xpi and, of course, it works just fine.

Thanks for your quick action!
