As I'm using the keyboard a lot, I would like to have more keyboard
shortcuts. Especially for toggle breakpoint.

I think it would be a nice feature if all actions got be assigned to
shortcuts and the user can set them. I see some firebug.key.shortcut's
in about:config, but no all.

You can customize these shortcuts using Firebug->Customize Shortcuts
dialog.

In case of a breakpoint, the shortcut is trickier since, there would
also have to be a way how to select a source line (within the Script
panel) using keyboard.

Haha, because I mostly use firebug in a separate window, as you can
guess by now, the menu item to change shortcuts is missing. Hmm, I
somehow remember someone filing an issue for that, lol.

I'm stepping through the source code with F10/F11. At that moment,
there's always the current line (how do you call that line? IP line or
so?).

If not debugging, the line indeed should be selected/selectable. There
already is something like that if you mouse over the linenumbers, like
a soft line marker. Maybe we could also have a hard line marker. That
would also make browsing the javascript code a lot easier.

(And while I'm on it, why can't we have line markers to easily jump to
a line, with keyboard shortcuts. Oh and even better, why not edit the
javascript just like the html, and have save/load locally, upload/
download from server, have syntax checking, jslint and coloring. Wait,
why not make a complete full blown javascript firefox firebug IDE ;-) )
