Bug 144207 – Web Inspector: Should have a keyboard shortcut to switch between inspector tabs

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Web Inspector

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
Should have a keyboard shortcut to switch between inspector tabs.

This is something I frequently want to do. Though there are keyboard shortcuts to jump directly to certain tabs, moving left/right should also be possible.

Do we need to use WebInspector.isEventTargetAnEditableField to abort early?

Naw, we match the system here. If you're in a text editor and do something like Shift+Command+Left, it should select text instead of change tabs.

Oops, yes we do for native editable fields. When I tested this, I tested in the QuickConsole, and code mirror was handling that keyboard input and I was seeing the desired behavior, but we don't get that in <input>, etc.
