When you hover the Console tab, a tooltip says "Web Console". It would be nice if it also said "Cmd-Alt-K". Would be nice to do so for every panel and button (like the Inspect button, Cmd-Alt-C).

The fix for this problem should be realtively easy.

The toolbox panels are registered in definitions.js: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/devtools/definitions.js

In that file, if you look at the creation of `Tools.inspector`, you can see that both keyboard shortcut and tooltip are defined close to each other. To fix this bug, you need to update the tooltips of all devtools panels to include their respective keyboard shortcut (e.g. instead of "Web Console", the tooltip should say "Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+K)", or on Mac: "Web Console (Cmd+Alt+K)").

I would suggest the following fix:

1. Change the panel tooltip l10n strings to accept a string parameter (e.g. "inspector.tooltip" in https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/devtools/inspector.properties#50 should become "DOM and Style Inspector (%S)"). They're all in different ".properties" files under browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/devtools.

2. Change the "function l10n" at the bottom of definitions.js to accept an optional "args" parameter (if that parameter is defined, you should use "bundle.formatStringFromName(string, args)" instead of "GetStringFromName").

3. Set each panel's tooltip defined in definitions.js to something like this:

    tooltip: l10n(inspectorStrings, "inspector.tooltip", [(osString == "Darwin" ? "Cmd+Alt" : "Ctrl+Shift") + "+" + key)])

Please ask me any questions you might have by replying to this bug (and please use the needinfo flag if you can). Good luck!

One note: the string names will have to change at the same time as the values to help localization tools detect the change.  So instead of:

inspector.tooltip=DOM and Style Inspector

It would become

inspector.tooltip2=DOM and Style Inspector (%S)

Then any associated JavaScript would be updated to point to 'inspector.tooltip2'

Hi Shivang, thanks for your interest! I'll assign the bug to you. Good luck!

> Why should I replace inspector.tooltip by inspector.tooltip2 ? 

The reason we also need to change the string ID ("inspector.tooltip" to "inspector.tooltip2" or to anything else really) is because that string has already been translated into many languages, and if we just change its value, our localizers won't notice that the string named "inspector.tooltip" has changed, and the updated string won't be re-translated. That's the way our localization tools work: if we change the value of a string, we have to make it look like a new string.
I used "get tooltip()" functions because I want to use "this.key".

I think moving the last '+' into each part of the ternary makes it easier to read.  Also, 80 chars on the line please.  For example:

Issue of "(this.key).split('_')[1]":
Properties files of tools like storage,profiler (they use 'shift' key not 'ctrl+shift/cmd+alt') sends shortcut key as "VK_F5",hence I used split function to trap respective function key.

Your patch works great! Thanks a lot Shivang :)

It's very cool to finally see these tooltips. I can't wait to approve it, but I added a few comments below. Please address them first.

Nit: The patch you uploaded looks like a diff. Usually, we add a bit of formatting:

- We use patches with 8 lines of context instead of 4 (e.g. generate with "diff -u8" or "git show -U8")

- We add a mercurial-like header at the top, e.g.

Nit: "split('_')[1]" does look a little weird. Could you please write a function for that at the bottom of the file, near "l10n()", called something like "functionkey()"? Then you could write "functionkey(this.key)" here.
Nit: Also, please you double quotes (") instead of single quotes (') to stay consistent with the rest of the file.

Shivang, I submitted your patch to "try", our test infrastructure, using the following command (I use git and moz-git-tools):

    $ git push-to-try ../mozilla-central/ -b do -p linux,linux64,macosx64,win32,win64 -u mochitest-dt,mochitest-e10s-devtools-chrome -t none

The results will start showing up here: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=be3fe1d78d75

Green is good, orange/red means something is broken (but it's not always the patch's fault).
Thanks Jan,I'll fix the patch and resubmit it.

Also, as an afterthought, maybe it's a good idea to tell the localizers that a shortcut will be shown in the tooltip?

If you think that's a good idea, please add a comment-line above each modified string, e.g.:

(In browser/locales/en-US/chrome/browser/devtools/debugger.properties) 
 # LOCALIZATION NOTE (ToolboxDebugger.tooltip2):
 # This string is displayed in the tooltip of the tab when the debugger is
 # displayed inside the developer tools window.

Thanks Shivang, looks good to me!

I submitted your new patch to our test infrastructure. The previous run was all green, so I'm confident everything will be green this time as well (if not, problems will probably be unrelated to your patch).

The results will appear here: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=a525489d294c

Once you're reasonably confident that your patch will work, please add the "checkin-needed" keyword to this bug. Sheriffs look for this keyword a few times per day to land patches into a Firefox integration branch. Once the patch lands into the "mozilla-central" branch and all goes well, the sheriff will mark this bug as "RESOLVED FIXED".

Congratulations on your first patch to Firefox!

RyanVM frequently comments saying "use checkin-needed, not checkin?" as in bug 418986 comment 63 and many other bugs.  So, I guess they notice checkin?, but they seem to dislike it.  I believe it requires manual work for them, as it's not managed by their tools.
You're right, "checkin-needed" seems to be the preferred option nowadays. My information about "checkin?" dates from last year, when RyanVM showed my the bug query that sheriffs use to find patches to land (I use it as well to see how long the queue is).

Thank you for this fix, Shivang!

FYI, your patch landed in "mozilla-central", which is the Firefox master branch used to build Nightly every night. About every 6 weeks, a snapshot of "mozilla-central" becomes the new Aurora branch, the one used for Firefox Developer Edition. After another 6 weeks of bug hunting and fixing, Aurora becomes Beta, and another cycle later Beta become stable Firefox, and is sent as an update to all Firefox users around the world.

What this means for your patch:
- It will be in tomorrow's Nightly.
- In about 3 weeks, it will be in Firefox Developer Edition.
- In about 3 months, it will be in stable Firefox.
