Firefox is now beating chrome in sunspider benchmark
Highlights Mozilla published its standards position on the Web Environment Integrity API proposal draft put forward by the Google Chrome team. A new version of Firefox View is in ...
Now if they would let you customize keyboard shortcuts, it would have been my default browser years ago.
Easy to fix with an extension. Shortkeys
I use qutebrowser for this reason. Keyboard first controls. All the workaround extensions for Firefox have limitations on about, config, and addon pages. I also had trouble with losing focus to Google docs and when a page is loading. Until Firefox offers full native control options, this was too brittle for me from a keyboard accessibility perspective.
I would love to use Firefox more though once this happens!
You can customize browser-internal shortcuts with a script in your profile dir.
For example this is my script
::: spoiler ‹user profile›/chrome/removeshortcuts.uc.js
var ids = `
viewBookmarksSidebarKb
key_quitApplication
openFileKb
key_savePage
printKb
goBackKb2
goForwardKb2
addBookmarkAsKb
bookmarkAllTabsKb
manBookmarkKb
viewBookmarksToolbarKb
`.replace(/\s+/g,' ').trim().split(' ');
ids.forEach( id=>{
var key = document.getElementById(id);
if (key) key.remove();
});
var originalKey = document.getElementById("key_screenshot");
if (originalKey) {
// Clone the original key
var newKey = originalKey.cloneNode(true);
// Set the new id and shortcut for the new key
newKey.setAttribute("id", newKey.id+"_redjard_alt");
if (newKey.hasAttribute('data-l10n-id'))
newKey.setAttribute("data-l10n-id", newKey.getAttribute('data-l10n-id')+"_redjard_alt");
newKey.setAttribute("key", "S");
newKey.setAttribute("modifiers", "accel");
// Add the new key to the parent of the original key
originalKey.parentNode.appendChild(newKey);
}
:::
The script removes the shortcuts listed in the beginning and adds an alternate shortcut for screenshots to ctrl+s.
You can see all internashortcuts by opening a browser console and querying the shortcut elements (using regular javascript)
To complete this, probably with ff117 I had to fix the way I load my userchrome files, reminding me I should probably put them here too:
What do you mean?
about:preferences#search > Search Shortcuts you can double click on the right next to the search engine to set any keyword (starting with @ or not).
If that's not enough, you have been able to set any keywords for any bookmarks (with %s argument replacing) since at least 2006.
Is any of that getting deprecated?
