1241992 - Add keyboard shortcuts for opening and closing the Synced Tabs sidebar

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Sync, defect, P2)

Description

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

Other sidebars (history, bookmarks) have them, so it would be good to have parity here.

Ryan, we need determine what keyboard shortcut to use for this.

Comment 2

[Ryan Feeley [:rfeeley]]

According to:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly

Bookmarks sidebar: Command + B
History sidebar: Command + Shift + H

and…

Save Page As:  Command + S

so perhaps the best candidate is:
Synced Tabs sidebar: Command + Shift + S

Thoughts?

Mao, as the developer of NoScript that uses this combo to open the menu, what you recommend?

Comment 4

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Wrong person, NoScript's author is Giorgio Maone

That opens the debugger on Windows.

I would like to suggest WONTFIX.

-> redirecting to the actual noscript dev. :-)

I don't think we need one. I would prefer to have client-side telemetry to see how many people are even using the sidebar first.

[Chris Karlof [:ckarlof]]

Can always reopen it later.

I'm not even sure global shortcuts will be supported by WebExtensions, so let's talk about it when it's time.
