The AI in sidebar looks good, but it would be really awesome if you add a shortcut for more usability. Clicking by mouse every time to open chat is very uncomfortable and takes long time!

Also it would be convenient to open some items from sidebar menu on the left side, whereas AI opened on the right side. Thanks!

The AI feature is integrated into the shared sidebar... and the fact that Firefox does not provides total shortcut control to the sidebar panels makes it very inconvenient to use when you runs extensions like vertical tab bars that occupy sidebar and is always on.

If we can freely assign shortcut to sidebar panels, it'll be very easy to switch panels, otherwise in most cases we can only choose one sidebar panel and ditch all other features that use the sidebar.

1. Toolbar Button to open AI Sidebar.

2. Keyboard Shortcut to open AI Sidebar.

+1 for AI Sidebar keyboard shortcut

Another option is a Sidebar shortcut, that opens the last used sidebar.

What would be the appropriate key combination for that?

A keyboard combination (maybe ALT-ENTER) for submitting the selected text to the LLM provider would also be nice.

So maybe CTRL-SHIFT-I (to open AI sidebar), it autofocuses to the text box, then ALT-ENTER to submit the prompt.

@EliasAKCtrl + Shift + I is currently mapped to dev tools and I can imagine someone finds that useful.

Also that would break the Ctrl + "single-key" combination pattern for opening things in the sidebar, for example, Ctrl + B for bookmarks and Ctrl + H for history.

An option add other AI tools to side bar is also needed, with current side bar we just have couple of pre-defined AI tools.

Ctrl+Q isn't mapped to anything right?

@Reqlo  Ctrl + Q is quitting Firefox, see here

For now, if you select Google Gemini for the AI chatbot, whenever you select any text on the web, a small popover appears to assist you with summarizing and stuff which quickly opens the chatbot sidebar and starts summarizing.

But yeah, a specific shortcut and toolbar option is still needed.
