Description Jerome Knapp 2010-02-14 05:28:47 PST
Accessibility issue / feature request with webkit inspector:

When using tab to autocomplete javascript, completions with multiple possibilities can not be selected unless you use the right arrow key.  It seems to me that shift+tab would make a reasonable shortcut to accept the current selection.  

I believe this would go a long way to make using the inspector less stressful on our hands.  


Please let me know if this will be deleted and I should submit it somewhere else.

~~~

Steps to reproduce:
1) View any webpage.
2) Activate Javascript Console
3) Start typing a command to autocomplete, such as document.getE
4) Hit Tab for your suggestion, notice that you can not select your suggestion without moving your hand.
5) Think about how natural it would be to hit shift with tab to select.

Both "Right Arrow" and "End" keys accept the autocompletion suggestion.
