Bugzilla

Hi folks, 

We would like to propose considering remapping the existing Ctrl + E shortcut on Windows to expand the sidebar. This has been the top requested feature for the sidebar and would improve the expand feature's discoverability (since we spell out shortcuts in the tooltips). It is also likely to become a reasonably frequent action for power users. 

The shortcut is currently used to [focus address bar and switch to the default search provider}(https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#firefox:win11:fx134). If I'm interpreting the probes correctly, it was used [~8.8k times in all channels and about 7.4k times in release](https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/103888/source) in 2024 and I'm trying to get a bit more detailed picture in this [big slow query](https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/103895/source). 

It seems to me, given the scarcity of the single letter shortcuts, and the presence of the Ctrl + K shortcut, it might be reasonable to try and use it for something that will likely become more high-frequency. 

Here’s the [broader shortcuts telemetry](https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/99442/source#245227) for reference on the frequency of keyboard shortcuts use.  

Please let us know what you think about this and if I'm interpreting the data correctly.

Hi folks, 

We are trying to find available shortcuts for expanding the sidebar. 
On Windows, Ctrl + E seems to be used for the findSelection shortcut, and I was hoping to get your confirmation that we're estimating its usage correctly (and hence, remapping the shortcut to another action is a non-starter). 

Have we correctly identified that it's the keyFindSelection value that's recorded in browser_ui_interaction_keyboard when Ctrl + E is used? 
[This query](https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/103888/source) suggests that ~700k distinct clients have used it since the beginning of 2024, while this one suggests fairly heavy usage, with [1M MAU and 4M monthly interactions}(https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/103895/source).
Is this a correct interpretation?  

On macOS, the same action seems to be mapped to different key combinations (rather than Cmd + E or Ctrl + E), but the mapping still seems to exist in the code. We wanted to check in with you what's the source of truth? 
User-facing docs on SUMO suggest that macOS shortcut for the same action is [Cmd + J](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#firefox:linux:fx134) and the Linux one is [Ctrl + J](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly#firefox:linux:fx134).
