Customizable hotkeys

[alefith]

It would be great if there was a way to customize hotkeys.
Here's how I see it:
 * Have a about:hotkeys panel, with all actions listed, and already mapped shortcuts shown.
 * Whether these should be modifiable or not is up to the dev community, ideally they'd be.
 * When clicking on a hotkey field, ideally, there would be a capturing hotkey feature, or, before this, an AHK like syntax to define hotkeys (not as complex, something like: CTRL+H means this and MAJ+ALT+END means that...)

 * a restore to default button.
 * Done.

It can't be done with an extension because some function can't be accessed by extensions (I'm actually looking for a way to send tab to other device while browsing with TST.). Anyway, I believe this should boost productivity in a number of ways. You guys are devs, you know keyboards are faster than mice. 😛

edit: Corrected the typos, it's been bugging me for months now😅

I also wish to change default (ctrl+1, 2, 3..) kb shortcuts. I wish to assign these to Speed Dials.

By setting a key combination, then pressing the key combination, and then performing a specific action. For example, when I create a new tab, I can customize the button combination, and when I press the combination, I will create a new tab. The Floorp browser has this feature, you can refer to it. Floorp Browser is a browser based on the gecko kernel

Two years on, yet such a simple feature is still not implemented. Almost all apps in Windows allow you to customize shortcuts, even Chromium browsers allow you to set custom keyboard shortcuts, and Firefox still in the year 2024 does not have this option! 

This is a deal breaker for me. FYI, using Ungoogled Chromium and Thorium now 😏

Many years ago, before the developers changed the API for add-ons, there was an Add-On that could edit or disable the Firefox Hotkey assignments.  I used it to disable CTRL-SHIFT-A.  When the API changed, that Add-On (I can't remember its name) along with so many other add-ons, broke.  I stuck with the previous version of Firefox for years to keep that functionality alive.  When I finally had to update Firefox, my old definition for CTRL-SHIFT-A (i.e. disabled) continued to work.  Now, it appears that Firefox 125.0.3 reset the hot-key table definitions crippling my external program from working within Firefox (again!).  I've had that external program for over 20 years and continue to use it because it is just that good.

It looks like I will have to change my default browser to Chrome or any other browser to keep that functionality I have been using for decades.

It has to be at least 5 years (probably more) that people have asked for this feature to be implemented in Firefox, especially since Firefox has some hotkey definitions for most keyboard combinations.  A lot of these hotkey shortcuts are really unnecessary.  Something as simple as the ability to disable certain hotkey definitions would go a long way towards resolving conflicts with other browsers or external programs (not to mention mistakes due to accidentally hitting destructive hotkeys).
