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 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.

Please create an built-in feature to customize shortcuts

[maobai]

Please roll out this feature as soon as possible Thank you!

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.

Customizable keyboard shortcuts is a great way to get people to move from other browsers to firefox. I am moving from MacOS Safari and the ability to update a few of the Firefox shortcuts to ones that I know from the Mac would be very greatly received. Thank you.

I use the big hammer: about:config => devtools.policy.disabled => true to disable the VERY annoying Devtools/Inspector popup with ctrl-shift-c. I wish I could remap that key combination to clipboard-paste, however.

come on Mozilla team - loads of people want this, why has it still not happened...

@Jon this has been a trending idea for almost 3 years, I do not quite understand how it is taking so long to be pushed into review. Quite disappointing from the team actually.

This is an accessibility concern with high "curb cut effect" potential.

This should be possible to finance from handicap assistance programs and not even need to touch the hundreds of google millions that are not making their way into firefox anyway.

Tell them it's an input layer with AI enabling

why is this not yet a feature? how difficult it is to give the possibility to customize keybindings? as an emacs user I hate having ctrl+n creating new windows as it steps over online ide keybindings for moving my cursor and for me ctrn+n is instintivelly a go to next line while coding and I keep creating new windows without intention to do so, it is so anoying.

To open the new sidebar, you need to do Ctrl-Alt-z, that makes sense on qwerty, but on qwertz it's awful.

[Skybreaker]

As someone who's in the process of migrating from Chrome to Firefox, it is crazy that this is not a thing yet. I can't count how many times I've accidentally used Ctrl+Shift+N for a private window and got whatever it is that that hotkey does instead.

[jyan_VERY_sane]

Found this because, while I love the new built-in sidebar for vertical tabs, the obvious first thing anyone would do is change the shortcut from Alt+Ctrl+Z to something more personally fitting.

Anyway, it's a free browser and it's open source, so I shouldn't complain too loudly, but jeepers. 😛
