Is there a way to customize Firebug's keyboard shortcuts? I love being able to step through javascript code using the Firebug console, but it looks like I'm limited to either using the default keyboard shortcuts for stepping over/into/out of code or using the mouse to click the appropriate button.
Am I missing something?
Is there some secret about:config hack in Firefox/Firebug that would help me?
As stated in their discussion forum, you can try keyconfig... otherwise, it is a known bug/limitation.
As @VonC mentioned, there is an open ticket on this. In my experience, keyconfig doesn't work for this purpose. I did write a patch that allows for the debugger execution control keys to be customized in about:config. I have also posted an XPI with this fix if you don't want to wait for it to be accepted upstream, and/or you don't want to build it yourself.
Another option would be to configure the shortcuts manually in file
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\extensions\[email protected]\content\firebug\browserOverlay.xul
For example, I removed the shortcut on F12 by commenting the corresponding section because it conflicts with the Undo Closed Tab shortcut of Tab Mix Plus.
Disadvantage: An update of Firebug will overwrite the modified configuration.
