945916 - F3 should jump to next result when doing text search in the debugger

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P3)

Description

[Jared Wein [:jaws] (please needinfo? me)]

STR:
Open the Browser Debugger and load a script
Do a search for some text in the script that appears multiple times
Hit F3

ER:
Moves to the next search result

AR:
Nothing happens. It does move if you hit Enter, but F3 is the keybinding used in SublimeText (not sure how common it is outside of Sublime). Tested with Nightly 12/3/2013 on Win7.

In the Inspector it is ctrl+g and shift+ctrl+g (backwards) instead of F3. This is nowhere surfaced, I just know from Bug 1256658 

I think that F3 is better known than ctrl+g but most important: it should be consistent (whithin devtools and with Firefox nativ search behaviour too)

We already use ctrl+g and enter. Are there other examples of F3 being used within devtools?

Feel free to share your thoughts on F3. Closing for the time being.
