How can I reload pages with Ctrl + Shift + R from FireBug?

Question

Often I'm using firebug when I switch to my code. When I switch back firebug is still the active pane so Ctrl + Shift + R doesn't reload the page. I have to click in the main pane (or tab 3 times), then reload. It only takes a second, but that time really adds up, and it slows the flow of my coding.

Is there an extension that will allow Ctrl + Shift + R to reload the page even if the firebug pane is active?

Answer 1

Odd. But note that the alternative to CTRL-SHIFT-R is CTRL-F5 that also works when Firebug has been focused.

The reason for this is that the shortcut is currently used to clear the console. You can simply change it within the Firebug Shortcut Bindings dialog to something else. After that Ctrl+Shift+R should work as expected again.

I created issue 7190 to resolve this conflict and fixed it by using Alt+R instead.
