(Whiteboard: [dupeme]) 

STR:   (Win7, Nightly 42.0a1 (2015-08-10))
1. Open devtools (Ctrl+Shift+I), go to "Inspector" tab
2. Press "Tab"
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+I

Result:       No visible changes (also, Ctrl+W and most of shortcuts don't work)
Expectations: Devtools should collapse
Huh. So I figured out that focus just goes to breadcrumbs, and they cancel every shortcut they can,
even the Tab key. This is affecting accessibility A LOT, so probably this was already filed
I saw similar obtrusive handling of shortcuts in bug 1230325

Inspector bug triage. Filter on CLIMBING SHOES.

The summary has changed a bit since the issue was opened. You can now TAB out of the breadcrumbs (but you cannot TAB back in).

However most shortcuts are indeed prevented and ineffective (close tab/window, quit application, open tab, close devtools etc....).

See preventDefault/stopPropagation performed at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/043082cb7bd8/devtools/client/inspector/breadcrumbs.js#l357
