A keyboard shortcut/hotkey for "Duplicate tab"

[cormac596]

In Firefox, I find myself duplicating tabs for various reasons, but it's only possible with the mouse. I like controlling Firefox functions with the keyboard, as it's more convenient for controlling from a remote keyboard than a mouse sometimes (Maybe I'm just weird). I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut for duplicating the current tab, staying on the first tab if possible ("When you open a link, image or media in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked, but it still switches to the new duplicate).

Slightly off topic but has anyone else noticed a recent problem (V.106.0.1) getting a duplicate tab to open if there a a lot of tabs open and the tabs section is the window is pretty much full?

It seems this may be something to do with the tab scrolling feature now implimented. When things are full I find 'ctrl' & dragging an open tab to the far edge won't work and I need to either drag it elsewhere (and move if afterwards) or open a new blank tab and drag to just before (to the left of) that.

I use duplicate tab all the time and it would be really great if there was a built in hotkey to do it quickly! Also I don't want to rely on an extension to do something this simple.

thanks!

I used Saka Key extension just for that functionality, but it is no longer maintained and started breaking a few important sites, so I had to disable it.

Now I don't have a keyboard only way to duplicate the current tab again 😭.

The worse thing is that the hotkey I feel natural for this (e.g. Ctrl+D) is bound to something else now which I never use.

Pls implement a keyboard short cut to duplicate current tab. Now you have to right click on the tab and select Duplicate Tab.

This has been lacking for a very long time now, along with a few others like even opening the tab menu. The ability to customize shortcuts and possibility to sync them across devices. I believe it's part of the core user experience things that defines a product these days as people want to get things done and mouse/trackpad is a real drag

Hey all...

A Firefox Product Manager is exploring potential changes around hotkeys and just kicked off a discussion thread here on Connect to gather more insights. Check it out and add your input — it's a great way to speak directly with the product team. Here's a link to the thread:

Hotkeys? Yes, please! 

Hope to see ya there 🙌

I agree, this this feature has been missing for years.
Personally I'd prefer the Edge shortcut (CTRL-Shift-K).

A shortcut to duplicate would be even more helpful now that we have tab groups, to have a new tab to the right of the current tab, also inside the group.

I would love to have a keybind to duplicate a tab. It's my favorite feature that doesn't have any sort of keybind yet. Even internet explorer had this shortcut back in the day.

x3_kate, a possible workaround is to press ctrl+L then alt+enter.

ctrl+L will focus the address bar, alt+enter will open the URL in a new tab.

Note, this may not work if there is currently text other than a URL in the address bar.
