1. when a user has focused the input line but has not entered anything, Home and End keys should scroll the output area to the top and bottom respectively.

2. if a user has typed something and an autocomplete popup is onscreen, the Home and End keys should scroll the autocomplete popup to the top and bottom (respectively).

3. If a user has typed something in the input area and there is no autocomplete popup, the input cursor should move to the start of the line with home key and end of line with end key.

I think this looks right. Nice patch.

Can we have a test too? :)

Thanks. What sort of tests? Mochitest? Any pointers?
**** Bugzilla. Am I just doing something wrong or is the "Need more information from..." checkbox not working?
Flags: needinfo?(rcampbell)
it's working. Sorry for the delay.

Yes, browser mochitests.

Look in the browser/devtools/webconsole/test directory for examples.

docs are here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mochitest
Flags: needinfo?(rcampbell)
I tried multiple times to set needinfo using the checkbox below the comment field to no effect. It only appeared once I used "set flags" from the top box thing.

Anyway, I'm attaching another patch with some tests I managed to cobble together. It tests the autocompletion and input field fine, but I'm not sure how to test scrolling the output panel. It also complains about some leaks for reasons beyond me. Some advice would be great.

there's your leak. If you need to capture this, declare it at the top of the file with a |let hud | as you did with popup.

see http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/devtools/webconsole/test/browser_webconsole_bug_585991_autocomplete_keys.js?force=1

for an example of good setup at the beginning of a test.

(you could also just add your home and end key tests to that file since it's testing this kind of behavior)

same here. Don't declare globals.

OK, thanks for the help. I added new assertions to two existing test cases. I also realized that the input field already handles home/end by itself, so I removed the special handling for that.

Attaching a new patch.
