In Firefox 78 ESR, where is the handling for the Ctrl+Shift+Y and Ctr+Shift+A shortCut key?

I guess these code is in the locaion of widget/, especially in linux it is in widget/qtk. But I cannot find the real code fragment for these handling. (In windows, Ctrl+Shift+Y key is not effective. In Linux, Ctrl+Shift+Y key is shortCut key for the download manager.)

Yes, the shortcut to open the Download history panel in the Library window varies by platform for some reason:

  • Linux: Ctrl+Shift+y
  • Windows: Ctrl+j
  • Mac: Command+j

Is your goal to map Ctrl+Shift+y to Downloads in Firefox for Windows? I recently saw a thread on Reddit about using an Autoconfig file (two files are actually involved) to modify Ctrl+Shift+b. You might take a look at this thread and perhaps there is a similar approach to adding Ctrl+Shift+y that would work and wouldn't need to get redone after every update. I suppose you could reply to the author and see if they'll help.
