The new download manager window does not follow the same behavior. I think the download manager should follow the same behaviour both for consistency and ease of use. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit CTRL-E to bring up the Download Manager 2. Hit CTRL-E again Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Download Manager window should close and focus return to the browser window from which the Download Manager was initially called
focus returning to the browser window it was spawned from is bad if you're in a second or third window, because then you need to switch back to where you're hitting Ctrl-E -> NEW

I'm sure the framework is present in the browser to remember the state at which the browser is layered and basic window managment. So that if you press CTRL+E and you had no Firebird Windows maximized it would just close the download manager and leave the screen, which would cause the Firbird to lose focus. Besides closing download manager with the same starting key combination is the most intuitive response.

If we're doing this for the Download Manager window, does it make sense to have Ctrl+I close to Page Info window, and just implement this system of same-shortcut-to-close-window for this class of windows?
Not necessarily. The reason for the Ctrl-E toggle for the DM is the precedent that was set when the component was a sidebar.
I think Ali's suggestion is not a bad idea. Perhaps pressing a dialog's hotkey should dismiss the dialog if it has focus; otherwise it could open or bring the dialog to the front (like Winamp 5's "Bring to front/hide Winamp" global hotkey, if anyone uses that).
Minor add: when making CTRL-E a toggle the relating toolbar button for the downloads window should act the same way (toggling and showing a pressed state and a released state)
See bug 233440 - Change DL Manager Keybinding.
Summary: Download Manager should close on CTRL-E → Download Manager should close on CTRL+Y

Summary: Download Manager should close on CTRL+Y → Download Manager should close on CTRL+Y / toolbar button
Simply adds a second close keybinding to the downloads manager (in addition to ctrl-w). The effect on hitting ctrl-y is this: If the downloads manager is not open, it is opened and gets focus (no change here). If the downloads manager is already open, but doesn't have focus, it is brought up front and becomes focus (no change here as well). If the downloads manager has focus, it is closed, just like hitting ctrl-w or clicking on the close window widget. So you can hit ctrl-y to have a short look in the manager, and hit ctrl-y again to get rid of it.

I request to RESOLVE this bug via changing CTRL+Y back to CTRL+E. It is important USABILITY ISSUE! You cannot close DM by one hand pressing CTRL+Y. Try it. But you can to close it easily via CTRL+E.
Typing in all caps is annoying. So is going offtopic and ranting about things outside of the context of a specific bug.

Comment on attachment 150398 [details] [diff] [review] patch for to make ctrl-y close it Let's start with this one, before bsmedberg's large patch-bitrot (toolkit locale move) takes place.
Attachment #150398 - Flags: review?(mconnor)
The toolbarbutton is much harder to fix. It's possible to detect whether the download manager is open or not, by getMostRecentWindow(Download:Manager). So I could easily make the button close the download manager if it's open. But is that what we want? If the downloads manager is already open but hidden behind the main window, it should IMHO not be closed, but brought up front and become focus, like ctrl-y does with my patch applied. On the other hand, it wouldn't be that bad if the toolbarbutton toggled open and close, no matter where the download manager is. There are some z-order functions in nsIWindowMediator. So we could possibly detect whether the download manager is on top, and only close it in that case. The problem is that in the moment you click on the toolbarbutton, the main window is up front. But how can we know whether the download manager was brought behind the main window through clicking on the toolbarbutton, or whether it was there all the time? I don't know if "onmousedown" helps here. It's possible to make the download manager always stay on top (alwaysRaised flag), but that's pretty annoying.
The answer depends on whether we're going to have a pressed state for the downloads toolbar button. If we do: Ctrl-Y/toolbar button should act as (effectively) a show/hide toggle. If we don't: clicking the toolbar button should be a single action (open/bring to front). Ctrl-Y can still be used to close it if the Download Manager window has focus, but if not we should bring it into focus. I like the toggle concept better, we just need to implement the pressed state for it to be coherent.

Attached patch toggle: almost done (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Here's the toggle. Click: open. Second click: close. Ctrl-y does the same. No matter if the download manager is on top or behind, has focus or not, it is closed if it's already open, and is opened if it's not open yet. The toolbarbutton now has a pressed state, which is the same for all windows. I need an observer to inform the other windows. The only issue I noticed is that the button doesn't get the pressed state when adding it to the toolbar and the download manager is open.

Attached patch toggle v1.0 (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This fixes the issue I mentioned before by setting the "checked" attribute on the always-present "Tools:Downloads" command, instead of the downloads-button itself. Renamed the observer from "Tools:Downloads", which could be confusing, to DM-open-close. Moved the notifyObserver() calls to downloads.js since I need the close observer there anyway.

Requesting blocking RC1 due to localization impact, and because I wouldn't mind some public testing.

If it were up to me, I'd mark this won't fix. See bug 176177 comment 33 and bug 176177 comment 35. But it's not up to me it's up to Ben, so I'll be quiet.
I think the current behavior of the toolbar button and ctrl-y is fine. If we want to be able to close the window, why no just make the esc key or crtl-e close it (see bug 233529). Would that work?
We can of course just make Ctrl-Y close it, without changing the toolbarbutton. See comment 11.

From the dupe: The download manager should be closed on ESC as well.

Sorry to throw a spanner in the works but Ctrl+Y is the traditional windows shortcut for Redo Change/Editing (Edit->Redo). Is assigning Ctrl+Y to the download manager an oversight or has the functionality been overloaded intentionally.
Manoj, bug 233440 changed the key from Ctrl+E to Ctrl+Y. Redo still works in textareas and in the bookmarks manager. It doesn't work in the bookmarks sidebar, but it never worked there.

Oops. Steffen, can you remove the section that closes the dlmgr from the browser window when the dlmgr isn't focused? The correct behavior when the window is open in the background when Ctrl+Y is pressed from a browser window is to bring it forward. We weren't talking about changing that - only allowing it to be closed with Ctrl+Y from the dlmgr window. As for the key collision.. oops. How about we change it back to E... but add a Shift modifier. Ctrl+Shift+E.

Ctrl+Shift+E is dangerous because it's next to Ctrl+Shift+W, which is "close the current window without prompting". Ctrl+Shift+Y is a bit difficult to press with one hand on non-German keyboards. Ctrl+Shift+D would be nice, but doesn't seem to work!?
Summary: Download Manager should close on CTRL+Y / ESC / toolbar button → Download Manager should close on CTRL+Y / ESC
This is mostly the first patch, plus ESC.
