Reviews for Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) for Firefox
Shortkeys (Custom Keyboard Shortcuts) for Firefox by Peter Malecka, Mike Crittenden
Review by NC
Rated 5 out of 5
by NC, 6 years agoProbably one of the most under-appreciated (by public rating) Extensions on the entire Firefox Add-ons site. This Extension is one of the most powerful Add-ons any Firefox customization hacker could hope for. Unfortunately for them the source of that power is also the likely cause for the low rating, using its best features (hotkey initiated custom JS) requires extensive developer knowledge and testing time. Couple that with the incredibly unfriendly tiny UI Window (with hidden Save Button) and it is no wonder new users find difficulty & rate it low.
It seems like the "Run custom JS" feature is treated as an afterthought, but I wish the devs would extend it, for example: JQuery support; custom CSS/HTML/DOM; pass dynamic parameters to commands (ie: use JS to find a particular anchor or img.src then go to it in a new tab); Download/Save a resource by URL (option to bypass save-as dialog); would be awesome to be able to call a particular context menu item of an object on the page;
Currently I am using multiple add-ons to do most of what I need, but as I mentioned even without those dream features this is by far one of my favorite extensions available. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for those that know how to code.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tarantula, 2 months agois not working, it says addon is corrupt, and has not been updated in 9 years?
- Rated 1 out of 5by obsessiveKaleidoscope, 3 months agoUsed to work great, but after an update of either Firefox or the extension, it won't even install because the extension is "corrupt" or something. This used to be the only extension that would let you rebind the Tab key.

- Rated 3 out of 5by kjamcu, 7 months agoWorked very well but for some reason I can't find shortcut option for sidebar opening/hiding anymore..
- Rated 1 out of 5by malau, 8 months agoI want to disable ALT F,X which I often hit by mistake instead of ALT F,C.
However, it is impossible to disable even ALT F !
This extension has been ABANDONED for 5 years, so it's not surprising that it doesn't work. - Rated 1 out of 5by oralhealth, 8 months agowhy doesn't this work

] - Rated 3 out of 5by Tielessin, 8 months agoVery flimsy and frustrating to get to work. For example, it not working in the URL Bar, only working after a page is fully loaded and not working on certain pages like this addons marketplace and any internal web pages (like the new tab page or the addons manager). Most of the issues don't seem to be the fault of the dev tho. Make sure you carefully read the infos in the add-on page when you run into issues.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Prajna Sariputra, 10 months agoWorks to disable the Ctrl+U shortcut, not for Ctrl+W though which still closes tabs and is what I really wanted to remap or disable.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Kwauhn, a year agoWorks to change shortcuts, but is too rigid in the actions it is able to override. I only wanted this to change Ctrl+Tab (go to previous tab) to Alt+Q, but the "TABS: Previous Tab" setting does not respect Firefox's "Ctrl+Tab cycles through tabs in recently used order" setting. I have that option selected, but Alt+Q still goes by tab order instead of recent use order.
