Keyboard shortcut for "Search Tabs"

[yoasif]

This came through as a question on reddit with 87 net votes, showing a screenshot of Chrome's "Search Tabs" feature (in the tab strip).

People pointed out that you can search tab titles via the address bar using the % restriction token. However, this is a bit of a multi-step process, unlike the same feature in Chrome, which allows people to do a Ctrl-shift-a and begin typing for the tab vs. the Firefox feature, which requires people to do Ctrl-l then type % space and begin typing the tab title.

Ideally, there would be a keyboard shortcut that would focus the address bar with the restriction token already populated.

I saw someone do this in Chrome on a Zoom call and commented how useful that was. Then they called me out in front of everyone for using Firefox and that it doesn't have that feature :pensive:

Hi, I'm working on the code and I've got it working. What should the shortcut be?

[zhou]

command + shift + A is what most other browsers support

[spade]

@Tom1380amazing. I think the shortcut should be Cmd+Shift+A on macs and Ctrl+Shift+A on PCs following convention in other browsers and extensions.

Cmd+Shift+A already opens the "Add-ons Manager"

I'm looking forward into using this feature

cmd+shift+A would be really convinient. Maybe ctrl+shift+space?

[howar31]

must be Cmd+Shift+A.  We don't need a shortcut to open the Add-On Manager which is not daily usage.
