How about Ctrl+Alt+I and Ctrl+Alt+J for the "old" DOM Inspector and Error Console, respectively?
This should be a straight-forward change (where DOMi needs its own bug report as it's strictly speaking a separate application).

Interesting, the DevTools command keys are actually defined in suite/ rather than devtools/, which should make it easier to change those rather than trying to make DOMi change theirs:

Well, that would have been too easy. :-\

I get 'Warning: Key event not available on some keyboard layouts: key="i" modifiers="accel,alt"'

Nevertheless, it works with Ctrl+Alt+I for Toggle Tools (though it still says Ctrl+Shft+I in the menu) but not with Ctrl+Alt+J for the Browser Console (no effect, Ctrl+Shift+J now opens the Error Console). Tested on Windows 7.
