Firefox keyboard shortcut for TabSearch

[hathawaydb]

Hello,

I noticed a lot of keyboard shortcuts for once you've accessed your drop down. Is there one for accessing TabSearch "itself"?

If you mean a shortcut to open the extensions menu then yes, Ctrl-Shift-F. It is written in the input box before you start typing.

It would be great to have that one configurable. I don't find Ctrl-Shift-F very convenient. I'd prefer something like Ctrl-Space.

Works already. Firefox is capable of customizing main or toggle shortcuts for addons as described here: #2 (comment)

The shortcuts to "launch" TabSearch are listed on the Add-on page, but not in the settings.

These should be added to the settings page and made configurable:

Ctrl + Shift + F - Toggle extension (Windows/Linux)
Cmd + Shift + L - Toggle extension (macOS)

+1 to making the "main" keyboard shortcut configurable. Now that Github code search uses Ctrl + Shift + F, it conflicts on many of my open tabs :)

+1 as well, Ctrl + Shift + F has never worked for me, even with sites open that definitely don't capture keyboard events. Perhaps a conflict with another extension but key combo does nothing.

for me (FF 109.0.1, macOS), it was another extension which was also trying to bind to the same shortcut which was causing the issue (of the shortcut not doing anything).

I've resolved this by

• going to the addons page, about:addons,
• selecting the "Manage Application Shortcuts" from the gear to the right of the title, "Manage Your Extensions" (refer this section of the MDN docs for an attached video)
• finding and removing the conflicting shortcut from another extension's pane

This also allows me to change the shortcut to something else, as long as it does not conflict with an existing shortcut of Firefox. There seems to be a couple of open bugs relating to this, but I wouldn't hold my breath. [1][2]
