Setup- FF 30.0. Steps to Reproduce- 1>Launch the FF browser. And go to your user page in Beta labs. 2>Click on “Edit Source” tab. Click anywhere on the Wikitext Editor pane. 3>Now while the cursor is still blinking in the editor pane, press the keyboard shortcut for the VE editor tab which is “Alt+Shift+v”. Actual Result-When the keyboard shortcut for the VE editor tab i,e. “Alt+Shift+v” is pressed, it just scrolls the window down, while the Wikitext Editor pane is still open and instead the “Show Changes” button gets highlighted(which apparently has the same keyboard shortcut combination). The same behavior was observed in test2 environment for FF browser. But in Safari and Chrome no such similar behavior was found. Expected Result-When pressed the keyboard shortcut of “Alt+Shift+v” should access the Edit beta tab and open the VE pane.
Yeah, Ctrl+Alt+v (on a Mac) works fine for me in read mode, but not in wikitext edit mode, where it just selects the tab… Something odd here.
The 'Show changes' button has accesskey=v, so there's a conflict. Chrome just goes for the first one on the page and breaks the 'Show changes' shortcut, Firefox moves between the two. Not sure what we should do about that.

Oh, yeah, that thing. *sighs* I guess this would get fixed with a switch to a single edit tab, but I'm not sure what we could do in advance of that.
We could have a different accesskey from action=edit (or just a new one in general), but that seems like it would confuse people.
