Names for colored media keys
============================

The current names for the colored media function is simply 'Red', 'Green', ...

However, order is important for these keys and that should be reflected in the name. In addition, they should share a common prefix so that they are grouped together and easier to discover.

Instead of Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Grey and Brown, we should use something like:
   MediaF0Red
   MediaF1Green
   MediaF2Yellow
   MediaF3Blue
   MediaF4Grey
   MediaF5Brown

Those look really odd names.
Comment 2 Masayuki Nakano 2013-05-17 23:47:43 UTC 
Note that Firefox 23 will ship the .key feature with "Red", "Green", "Yellow" and "Blue" key names in this August. If they will be renamed, please do it as soon as possible. Then, we can change them in the first implementation.
Comment 3 Gary Kacmarcik 2013-08-25 18:09:05 UTC 
The latest ED has these media keys defined as:

ColorF0Red (VK_COLORED_KEY_0)
ColorF1Green (VK_COLORED_KEY_1)  
ColorF2Yellow (VK_COLORED_KEY_2)
ColorF3Blue (VK_COLORED_KEY_3)
ColorF4Grey (VK_COLORED_KEY_4)
ColorF5Brown (VK_COLORED_KEY_5)

These are based on the virtual key names given to the colored function keys in the media controller spec.
