Bug 142533 – Web Inspector: add global shortcut for focusing active navigation sidebar's filter box

• Status: NEW
• Component: Web Inspector

[Brian Burg]

There can be at least two "filter" inputs, for the left sidebar and the split console. It would be really useful to have a shortcut, such as cmd+\, to move focus to the next filter input. As it is, the hit target is so small and at the bottom of the window, I rarely use it myself.

The approach Xcode takes is to have two separate shortcuts:

* one for left-side navigator filter (In menu bar as "Edit > Filter > Filter in Navigator", keys Option+Shift+J)
* one for right-side library filter (In menu bar as "Edit > Filter > Filter in Library", keys Option+Shift+L)

We don't have a library, but this should be easy to do for the navigators.

Brian, did you mean Command-Option-*?
Option+Shift+J types Ô
Option+Shift+L types Ò

In macOS High Siera Xcode:
Command-J move focus to editor.
Command-Shift-J reveal in project navigator.
Command-Option-J focus on navigator filter field.

Possible conflicts:
Safari:
Command-Option-L open Downloads

Chrome:
Command-Option-J open/close DevTools and focuses on console
