Firefox Console keyboard shortcut Conflicts #59

Closed KatieK2 closed 6 years ago

KatieK2 commented 6 years ago

When I use "Control Shift k" in Firefox, I expect to get the browser dev tools with focus on the Console tab. However, with the aXe 3.2.1 extension enabled, I instead get a red error box saying "No textarea elements on this page". I get the results that I expect when the aXe extension is disabled in Firefox.

This is on Firefox for Windows 10. The same problem does not exist in Firefox for OSX, probably because the keyboard shortcut for the dev tools Console is different. I recommend finding an alternate keyboard shortcut for Firefox in Windows.

Hi Katie, which version of Firefox? I just tested it in Nightly (59) and I don't have that result. Ctrl + Shift + K takes me to the Devtools console with no errors.

Also: aXe doesn't do anything with keyboard shortcuts. So if there's a conflict, it might have been a problem in Firefox devtools itself.

Hi Marcy,

This is on on Firefox Quantum v57.0.2 (64-bit) in Windows 10. I was sure that it was aXe because the problem went away when I disabled aXe (and left all other extensions enabled). I can't explain that part. But now I see that the error box has Ghost Text (another extension) labeling in the dom. Darn computers.

Sorry for the false alarm!

No problem, thanks for the contribution Katie!
