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 need to remove ctrl+shift+w, I have a window with over 1000 tabs, I open and close hundreds of them every day. Today I accidentally pressed shift. Reopening the window froze Firefox for 10 minutes, took 75GB of memory and way more in pagefile, and now each page needs to reload as I switch to that tab.
When trying to remap this shortcut using the extension, it just closes the window with options.

A MUST HAVE!  or I must ditch firefox.

I'm wainting this feature too.

Because with some keymaps, the selected shortkey combinaisons doesn't work.

Very necessary feature!
Almost all modern browsers allow you to change default shortcuts.

In my case, I am annoyed by:

  • cmd/ctrl shift c
  • cmd/ctrl shift w

Also, disabling any default shortcut will allow binding them to the installed addon/extension.
For example, I want to copy a link from the address bar with the shortcut "cmd shift c" instead of "option shift c" (which I set until this feature is implemented).

I love Firefox. But this feature one of few that really are must have.

Please implement the customizable hotkeys feature ‌🙏

Best regards, your loyal Firefox user.
