Bug 149198 – Web Inspector: Make Find / Save keyboard shortcuts work better globally

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

[Joseph Pecoraro]

* SUMMARY
Make Find / Save keyboard shortcuts work better globally.

Currently find/save requires you to have the ContentView in the ContentBrowser focused. This fails if you have focus on the Sidebars. We should consider making these global, like Copy.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Inspect <https://webkit.org>
2. Show Resources Tab
3. Select a CSS resource
4. Cmd + F
  => expected find banner to show for the editor, instead Safari may have shown a find banner if docked, nothing happens if not docked
5. Cmd + S
  => expected resource save dialog, if docked Safari handles the key event, nothing happens if not docked

I like this patch and it works a lot better than existing behavior, but r- because save and find don't do anything if QuickConsole has focus. In fact, the save shortcuts do nothing if any text field has focus, in my testing. I'm fine with the search shortcut doing nothing if a search box is already selected (so it doesn't switch between LogContentView and the split ContentView).

Focus management seems ripe for extracting into a FocusController class, someday. We might want to do more things with it.

Nit: typo

> +    if (this.splitContentBrowser.element.isSelfOrAncestor(this.currentFocusElement) || this.quickConsole.element.isSelfOrAncestor(this.currentFocusElement))

This seems wrong: if quickConsole has focus but the split content browser is not open, then it won't work.

> Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/Base/Main.js:1701
> +    var tabContentView = this.tabBrowser.selectedTabContentView;

Nit: let

NIT: From what I can see, any class with supportsSave also has a saveDataToFile function, but would it be safer to also check to see that that function exists?

You have also used "var" instead of "let" in multiple places.

Some ContentViews may have the ability to save but don't want to save at the moment. The LogContentView when not visible or in the split console is an example.

Change this to generically handle Cmd+F / Cmd+S in the QuickConsole when split console is showing/closed.

  - QuickConsole focused and split console CLOSED => Forward events to the main ContentBrowser/ContentView
  - QuickConsole focused and split console OPEN   => Forward events to the split ContentBrowser/ContentView
