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.

This idea isn't implemented yet, but I noticed that on Firefox on Windows, "Firefox View" appears as an option in the "Tools" menu. Therefore it can be accessed using access keys, as Alt+T,F as of English, 131.0.2. The sequence might differ according to your locale.

Strangely, the "comment" button doesn't seem to be available for this idea anymore; the like count has seemingly been reset to 0; and the idea, when accessed via its URL without signing in, shows a "not found" page. Unsure what's going on here.

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

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.
