1280958 - Keyboard Shortcuts in the Options Panel

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 892188

(DevTools :: Framework, defect)

Description

[Helen V. Holmes (:helenvholmes) (:✨)]

In 1280866 Julian's proposed some handy-looking keyboard shortcuts for the Inspector. I wonder with a growing list of keyboard shortcuts if it would be helpful to be able to see a list of the keyboard shortcuts available in devtools.

I'm proposing the options panel as a place to keep these. This is because I think it would be a natural progression to eventually have this area be a place where users could remap keyboard shortcuts. However, for the moment, I think just displaying them all in one place would be pretty handy.

A current blocker for this is that there need to be some new proposals for the design of the options panel as the current options panel would be overwhelmed by adding keyboard shortcuts to it.

Might this be a dupe of bug 892188?  Also note that we are using a new keyboard shortcut module that will make rendering them properly for the individual platform easier (i.e. Ctrl+alt+i vs Cmd+opt+i), see bug 1260493.

Definitely a dupe, just a new idea for how people find the shortcuts. I'll close this out and comment in that other bug.
