The CmdOrCtrl+Shift+O currently toggles devtools options. It's duplicated with F1 which does exactly the same thing.

Also the Debugger uses CmdOrCtrl+Shift+O to toggle function search, which is consistent with what the Chrome debugger does.

We should remove all usage of toolbox.options.key (or replace them with toolbox.help.key in tests) http://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/search?q=toolbox.options.key&case=true&path=

The following documentation pages should be updated:
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Tools_Toolbox
- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Settings

Will open an issue on devtools-rfc to make sure everyone agrees.

Bug 1409456 - Remove CtrlOrCmd+Shift+O shortcut for DevTools options;

https://reviewboard.mozilla.org/r/234476/#review240206

Code wise, this looks fine to me.  I agree though we should have an RFC or some other form of team discussion before landing.

Thanks for the review. I forgot to mention it here, but we did have a RFC for this:
https://github.com/devtools-html/rfcs/issues/23

and it was accepted, hence the patch :)

Hmm, which I also commented in... :S

Well, looks like we're good to go then.  I'll mark for docs update to remove the old shortcut.

I've removed mention of the shortcut from the relevant pages:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Keyboard_shortcuts
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Settings (the other page transcludes the information from here)

And added a note about the removal to the Fx61 rel notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/61#Developer_tools_2

Let me know if that looks OK. thanks!
