Storybook keyboard shortcuts overlap in IE/Edge and Firefox

[MaDDmin]

That particular combination is taken on Firefox and opens a new private tab instead of toggling the Searchbox as it was meant to.

Here is the relation of Firefox shortcuts in which can be found that particular one: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-tasks-quickly?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Keyboard+shortcuts#w_windows-tabs

Control + Shift + P = private window
Control + Shift + L = new tab address bar

So what should the new shortcut be?

Same problem in IE #1691

And Edge as well

[Hypnosphi]

As soon as we rename "left panel" to "stories panel" we can introduce Ctrl + Shift + S while keeping to support Ctrl + Shift + L for backward compatibility. For showing search panel, it seems quite natural to use Ctrl + Shift + F.

[Hypnosphi]

Oh, Ctrl + Shift + F is reserved for fullscreen already.

[Hypnosphi]

Here's a table with all the used Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + shortcut keys in major brawsers (sorted by usage data from caniuse), excluding text field shortcuts, and some highly contextual shortcuts:

⌘/Ctrl+Shift+	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z
Chrome		+		+				+	+	+			+	+				+		+			+
Firefox	+	+		+				+		+				+		+		+		+		+	+			+
IE 11												+				+
Safari				+																+
Edge												+	+			+		+		+
Opera		+		+				+	+			+				+			+	+	+	+

Those keys are therefore safe for now: C E F G K O Q X Y. U is also quite safe, it's used only in Opera ("View source of active frame")
We're using F for fullscreen, and need to pick four of the remaining ones for other shortcuts instead of D L P J.

For search, we could use Q (stands for "query") As for panels, I can suggest using the key positions relative to F. Here's how available keys are laid out on standard keyboard:

Q		E			Y	U		O
			(F)	G			K
		X	C

So here's my suggestion:

• Q for search box
• E for stories panel
• C for addons panel
• G for addons panel in right

@ndelangen what do you think?

@Hypnosphi Cmd+Shift+C is Chrome's Devtools Inspect Element shortcut :\
