Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0
Build ID: 20170614015614

Steps to reproduce:

  "commands": {
    "_execute_browser_action": {
      "suggested_key": {
        "default": "Ctrl+Semicolon"
      },



Actual results:

The extension fails to load properly, an error states that Ctrl+Semicolon doesn't match some complicated ugly regexp (and that true, it doesn't).


Expected results:

Accept Semicolon (and probably many other keys) as shortcut key.

bug 1364251 is probably related as it asks for the tab key to be added to the list of allowed modifier keys.
