F5 vs F8 for continue

[igitur]

The use of F5 vs F8 for continue has come up before, e.g.:

http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/d78f0f00eeeefe88/6f457bcade59e0f4?lnk=gst&q=f5+f8#6f457bcade59e0f4


That post was made long ago, and as far as I can see, the current
behaviour is that F8 is the key, because F5 refreshes the page.

However, http://getfirebug.com/keyboard.html, still mentions F5 as the
Continue key. (also report here
http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/d78f0f00eeeefe88/6f457bcade59e0f4?lnk=gst&q=f5+f8#6f457bcade59e0f4
)

This is important, because the WebKit inspector's shortcut keys were
modelled on Firebug's keys, for consistency. See
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23849

The developer feels F5 is the correct key. I feel it's a typo on
http://getfirebug.com/keyboard.html and that F8 is the correct key.
Can somebody please confirm and if necessary, correct
http://getfirebug.com/keyboard.html before the WebKit patch lands up
in trunk.

thanks,
Francois Botha

Hi,
I think this should be an option for the user.
In some development-environments (e.g. MS Visual Studio 6.0) F5 is for
continue, f8 for next step.
It is confusing if you have to change your habits.
I, for example, write VB-programs to edit to source code according to
certain rules - or to list all functions used by a page/site.
I do not want to make my tests more difficult by having to press
different keys for each type of tests.
It should not be difficult to have the key-codes in a table/array. If
someone feels, an option is too much effort to implement in FB itself,
there should be a simple interface allowing FB-Add-ins. This interface
could be a structure-definition of the settings-options.
The add-on would read it, offer the user various options, make the
necessary changes, write it back and notify FB that it should reload
the settings.
For these functions the add-on could offer environments or custom-
choices., thus it would be easy to add new environments/UIs.
You must accept, that you can please all users sometimes, some users
all the time, but you cannot please all users all the time.

1.4 has a key-rebinding user interface but the debugger keys are
integrated with it yet. You could open a bug report to help us
remember this request or you can look in to contributing a patch for
this.
