Firefox claims so many key combinations :(

I had trouble with ctrl-p (print menu every single time - usability nightmare
if it's intermittent), ctrl-l (selects address bar text), ctrl-i (page info,
another you have to have the cursor in just the right spot), shift-ctrl-c
(inspector).

The one good thing is that with the 21411 bug, you can remap all of the keys to
whatever you want. The bad thing is that at least in Firefox, there aren't many
key combos left to use that don't have a Firefox feature associated, and often
you have to be really careful about where the cursor is when you use them. It
could be really, really frustrating for users. Much more frustrating than say,
using MARCEdit or some other tool to write your record and then importing the
record.

I'm not sure what to do here, none of the options seem perfect. I suppose you
could get the cataloguers who use this to install something like
https://www.ghacks.net/2016/12/24/disable-keyboard-shortcuts-in-firefox/ so as
to unbind and free up a few, but I hate to make people have Firefox addons for
what ought to be core features. The use case outlineed in the article there
seems very similar to what we are dealing with: an editor window that uses a
key binding that also is one that Firefox claims.

If we are going to say "yes, use this plugin for firefox with the advanced
editor" then I think I'm ok to let this through basically as is after a bit of
retesting with the plugin. But we also need to be aware that not every IT
department will allow the usage of Firefox plugins, and that those users will
have a sub optimal experience.
