Firefox keyboard shortcut for element picker no longer working (fixed in Firefox 66, FF bug #1303384)

[foss-]

The keyboard shortcut which worked in previous uBlock Origin versions in Firefox is no longer working.
uBlock origin 1.13.9RC1
Firefox 56b2 or
Firefox 57 nightly
macOS 10.12.6

Keyboard shortcut setup for element picker

The commands are declared in the manifest. The missing part is the browser missing the UI to assign shortcuts: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1303384.

Thanks for the feedback. Does this mean, it is a regression in functionality due to missing APIs / functionality in firefox regarding web extensions? if so, this feels really wrong on mozillas part. force web ext move (which isn't such a bad idea) but then breaking stuff by not having APIs / required functionality ready for web exts?

FYI for all it look it may now be possible to set extension shortcuts in Firefox v60 if I am reading this bugzilla discussion properly. There seems to be implementation documentation [1] [2] and example [3] as well.
