Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Attachment: Dvorak-Qwerty Firefox bug.m4v

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

Mac OS X has a keyboard layout called "Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘" where the keys are ordinarily in the Dvorak layout, but when the ⌘ (Command) key is held down, it temporarily switches back to Qwerty. Thus, you can type text in Dvorak, but all the keyboard shortcuts in your muscle memory still work.

While using he Dvorak-Qwerty ⌘ layout, I attempted to trigger the Web Developer: Inspect menu item with shortcut key Opt-Cmd-I.


Actual results:

The tools menu highlights briefly (but does not open), but the Inspect mode is not triggered.


Expected results:

The inspect mode should have started. Note that if I first click on the Tools menu, the keyboard shortcut works as expected.

I think that this is a mistake.

|!isDvorakQWERTY| means we don't need to append altCharCodes for Dvorak-Qwerty because charCode and cmdedChar (or cmdedShiftChar) must be same. But there is the case Alt key is pressed (Mac's Alt key is similar to AltGr of other platforms).

So, if cmdedChar or cmdedShiftChar doesn't match to the charCode, we should append them.

I haven't tested this.  But it looks like it shouldn't do harm.

Would you check the patch for feedback? I'd like to land this ASAP due to the risk.

Looks like this code was added in http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/9515fda788fd (bug 432388).  Still making sense of it.

It doesn't feel right to me to add the Qwerty alternative char codes when
!isMeta, because we have already included the Dvorak char codes.

For other isCmdSwitchLayout layouts, don't we still want to include
cmdedChar when preferredCharCode is cmdedShiftChar?

>+  // cmdedChar or comdedShiftChar, we don't need to do it.

Please fix up comded here.

Did you mean this?

Comparing charCode makes it more complicated. Therefore, I removed it. It shouldn't be an issue for performance.

Ah, note that the new patch includes the change for bug 677252 for new tests because the bug is still blocked by bug 447757. But this bug should go first.

Yes, this logic looks good to me, but I don't think the boolean isCmdPressedOnDvorakQWERTY is helping here.
I would just leave the first test as is and use (!isDvorakQWERTY || aKeyEvent.isMeta) in the second, or perhaps swap the order of the variables in one of the tests to be consistent.
