Firefox View Tab Keyboard Shortcut

[ravindUwU]

Firefox View is great, but there doesn't seem to be a shortcut to quick-switch to its tab, which isn't accessible via Ctrl+1–9.

Thoughts on assigning either Ctrl+` (backtick) or Ctrl+0 for this purpose? I think Ctrl+` is preferable, because View is pinned as the first tab, and it's also less likely to be accidentally pressed. Activating the shortcut would open the View tab if the user's on a non-View tab, or restore the user's previous tab if they are on the View tab.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

would also love to see a keyboard shortcut here

I feel like ctr+` would work well on mac too. it wouldn't put it into the same flow of jumping to tabs by their number, like OP suggested. but it would keep it in a familiar flow of ctrl+tab to cycle through tabs in order, with just a slight reach up to hit ctrl+` to jump straight to FF View

Yes, Firefox View is so cool. ctrl+` is easy to perform.

Couldn't believe there isn't a keyboard shortcut for it already.

I too believe Ctrl+` could work. But any shortcut is already better than none (as it currently is)

Hotkeys? Yes, please!

I don't use this view, because I can't access via keyboard shortcut.

Still waiting on getting a shortcut for Firefox View under MacOS.

Great idea. I vote for Ctrl+` because it's left of 1 (on US keyboards) and because Ctrl+0 is well-established as reset zoom.
