User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

I press the key combination Opt+Cmd+M 🙂

Actual results:

Responsive design mode opens.

Expected results:

The keyboard shortcut Opt+Cmd+M is used in macOS to minimize all windows of the selected application. You can check it in Chrome and Safari 😉

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Cocoa' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Widget: Cocoa
Product: Firefox → Core

This is indeed a conflict and we should pick a different shortcut by default on macOS.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Component: Widget: Cocoa → Responsive Design Mode
Ever confirmed: true
Product: Core → DevTools
Severity: -- → S3
Priority: -- → P3

Any news on this issue?

Checked in version 117.0b9. The bug, unfortunately, is still reproducible 😢

changing shortcuts is pretty hard, not sure how we could do that without disturbing people who are used to this shortcut to open RDM :/

All macOS users have long been accustomed to the fact that the keyboard shortcut Option + Command + M minimizes all application windows. This works for ALL applications of this operating system WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS. And this is logical:
Command + M - minimizes only one application window;
Option + Command + M - Minimizes all application windows as expected.

Therefore, opening RDM after pressing the Option + Command + M key combination is an undesirable and annoying behavior that only prevents users of this operating system from minimizing all application windows. In addition, it also puts aside those who switch to Firefox from Chrome or Safari, where there is no such problem, because these web browsers follow Apple's guidelines.

Why does a bug report that describes a serious conflict between Firefox and macOS keyboard shortcuts have the status "Not tracked"? 😯 In your opinion, such a conflict between your web browser's keyboard shortcuts and Apple's keyboard shortcuts does not deserve due attention?! 🤨
