Changing Firebug's hotkeys

I'm using firefox with two extensions that use the same hotkeys: Firebug (for web debugging) and del.icio.us (for online bookmarking).

After some digging I found that firebug keeps its keybinding settings in this file:

ProfileDirectory\extensions\firebug@software.joehewitt.com\content\firebug\firebugOverlay.xul

To change the default key for firebug's "Focus Command Line" command look for this line:

<key id="key_focusCommandLine" key="l" modifiers="accel,shift"
     class="fbOnlyKey" command="cmd_focusCommandLine"/>

and change it to:

<key id="key_focusCommandLine" key_code="VK_F2"
     class="fbOnlyKey" command="cmd_focusCommandLine"/>

And restart firefox.

Now, when you press F2 it will focus on firebug's command line.
