I agree that this is the way it should behave. The reason these keys can't be
customized at the moment is that they are defined using the attachListeners method
in
domplate, whereas the shortcut customization mechanism only works with global
keystrokes defined using <key> elements in XUL. I'll have to find a solution that
allows the mechanism to work with both key binding methods.

We could change the binding mechanism as well, but the non-global binding avoid
potential collisions.

On the Mac, various system keystrokes related to Spaces default to using unmodified
function keys, which conflict with these Firebug keys. It therefore would be very helpful
to be able to change them at the Firebug level, rather than having to alter the Spaces
keys system-wide.

This needs a clean new API as described in issue 5353.
I split the shortcut from the button tooltip in r12835 in preparation for this.

as it mentioned, it is difficult to allow dynamic registering of key combinations.

but the keys（F10, F11） are conflicted, so i can‘t debug my webapp.

why not add the debug related buttons to toolbar, then even keys conflicted i can still
use the function of debug.

There *are* buttons inside the Script panel's toolbar:

Maybe in meantime the patch from http://kaeding.name/articles/2008/12/11/customize-firebug-shortcut-keys/
can be merged to at least allow shortcut configuration from "about:config" page.

Even being 5 years old, the patch seems to be correct solution until new API will be
developed in https://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=5220.
