In the case of mass-retriggers, having to click the button repeatedly gets old in a hurry. While BuildAPI is great for buildbot jobs, Taskcluster doesn't have any sort of similar functionality that I'm aware of, so that limits us to what the Treeherder interface gives us. So I'd like to have a workflow of using the arrow keys to move between jobs and a hotkey I can hit quickly to retrigger the jobs.

So I have this pretty much done. As discussed in channel, we are considering the following change: 'r' - retrigger job 'b' - add related bug (** was 'r') This means folks who are used to 'r' need to be made aware, so adding other sheriffs for agreement. If there's another shortcut key we'd prefer to use instead for retrigger which preserves 'r' for add-related-bug, let me know. The first day may be a bit painful during the transition to production, but ultimately if we think it's the right key we might as well do it before it becomes even more entrenched, I think.

I am +1 to r :)

Jmaher is fine with the change also.

I've made the change, it's totally the right thing to do. I re-tested and it appears to be fine. I'll check in with Wes if he's around, before a merge.
