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 am always curious. How are you going to get UTF-16, not ASCI, to have customizable hotkeys on any keyboard? This ties to why my team loves DOS more than any modern system.

I never print from my browser, so I'd love the be able to map Cmd-P to something I _do_ do frequently, like copy the URL of the current page to my clipboard.

As others have also pointed out, many sites are now including fully-fledged VS Code developer environments in the browser. Cmd-P and Cmd-Shift-P are important shortcuts in VS Code that we simply can't use in Firefox.

My preference would be to have both global and site-specific overrides -- similar to how Arc implements hotkey changes.
