Is there an option for keyboard navigation for sidebar. Wondering if
blind screen reader users could access the new sidebars?

Cheers

Hotkeys can be setup with the hotkey module, the downside is that hotkey won't show under View -> Sidebars.

My xulkeys module could be modified to add hotkeys to sidebars as well.

It's better to keep that separated tho.

I've created my own sidebar by calling out to the low-level APIs. I'll be very happy to have this! FYI, two things that are pretty important to me are being able to set the width of the sidebar and being able to place the sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen. Being able to set the width is especially important as I display a web page from my server that is designed to fit a specific width

Hey Erik,

The sidebar should be in nightly now, right?  I wanted to test building an extension against it.  Is there someplace where the Add-On SDK docs are published for nightly that might have docs for the sidebar API?

Thanks,

-Ben

[Ben McCann]

Thanks again for the work on the sidebar. Really looking forward to being able to use it!

One feature request for the sidebar, I need to be able to set the width:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=919117

For anyone else wanting to try the sidebar, I found these docs:

https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/doc/module-source/sdk/ui.md

And the source code:

https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/lib/sdk/ui/sidebar.js

https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/tree/master/lib/sdk/ui/sidebar

Thanks!

-Ben

I have one more request for the sidebar. It'd be really nice to be able to place it on either the right-hand or left-hand side of the screen. I've filed another feature request for that:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=919201

Thanks!

Hey Ben,

Sidebar is in Nightly, the docs won't be released until it lands in Aurora though I think. The very basic start to the sidebar docs are here: https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/doc/module-source/sdk/ui.md

Also there is https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/wiki/JEP-Sidebars

The Sidebar API reference page is now up as part of the Firefox 26
(Aurora) docs:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/Firefox-26/modules/sdk/ui/sidebar.html.

[Ben McCann]

Was the sidebar still released with FF26 and have the docs been updated for FF26? I don't see them online:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't update the /latest/ alias yet, I've been all-out porting the docs to MDN.

Haha, yeah, just noticed it's still on Firefox 24 =)  Guess it's been awhile since anyone's had time =)
