1327443 - Split console - not all shortcuts propagate to opened tool (e.g. Ctrl+P in debugger)

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Console, defect, P3)

Description

[arni2033]

>>>   My Info:   Win7_64, Nightly 49, 32bit, ID 20160526082509
STR_1:
1. Open https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/
2. Open debugger
3. Press Escape key to open split console  [console will be focused]
4. Press Ctrl+P to find scripts

AR:  Firefox tries to print the web page
ER:  Shortcut should propagate to the opened tool (debugger). Probably other hotkeys/tools as well


STR_2:  (difference in Step 4)
1. Open https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/
2. Open debugger
3. Press Escape key to open split console  [console will be focused]
4. Press Ctrl+J to switch to a line number

AR:  Firefox opens downloads window
ER:  Shortcut should propagate to the opened tool (Style editor). Probably other hotkeys/tools as well


STR_3:  (reference of expected behavior; difference in Step 4)
1. Open https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/firstrun/
2. Open debugger
3. Press Escape key to open split console  [console will be focused]
4. Press F8 to pause debugger

AR:  Debugger stops or at least waits for next JS execution [OK]


Note:
1) To sum up: I expect any shortcut that isn't reserved for Console to "propagate" to opened tool
2) [OOT] I think Ctrl+P is the most notable example. But there's an opposite example: I think that
   Ctrl+L shouldn't propagate, since shortcut to clear console was recently changed from Ctrl+L to
   Ctrl+Shift+L. It's good, because now I can press Ctrl+L to focus urlbar w/o any concern to lose
   logs. Furthermore, I think that Debugger shouldn't have Ctrl+L shortcut at all, because it
   prevents me from focusing urlbar, and also is inconsistent with Style editor and Scratchpad.
3) Anyway, this comment represents an inconsistency among tools/shortcuts (some propagate, some don't)
