1122699 - Show keyboard shortcuts from the toolbox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 892188

(DevTools :: Framework, defect, P1)

Description

[Brian Grinstead [:bgrins]]

It'd be nice if we had a way to show common keyboard shortcuts from the toolbox.  A couple of ideas:

1) Have a link that opens up https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts
2) Open up a dialog when the user presses "?".  You can see an example of this on github.com.

The benefit of 2 is that we know what platform they are on, so they wouldn't have to see a table including platforms irrelevant to them.  Also, there may be some flexibility to show context-specific shortcuts more prevalently (if you are on the inspector tab, maybe those could show up near the top).

If we went with something like 2, it'd be nice to somehow share the list of shortcuts between the MDN documentation and this dialog so we didn't have to maintain two separate lists.  Not sure how that would best work, especially as new shortcuts are added to the toolbox.

I won't focus on this for the current week, unassigning for now.  Free feel to grab if you wish.
