New Ctrl + Shift + B shortcut is conflicting with other shortcuts
Ctrl + Shift + B to translate a text is conflicting with Firefox's "Library window (Bookmarks)" and so it currently doesn't translate any text if you use it.
My suggestion would be to do Ctrl + Shift + Y/F/Q/Z as these are easy to reach, or if you really don't want anything to conflict with it.. do Ctrl + Shift + (number) as there's nothing in Firefox currently using these exact combinations of keys for a shortcut
Thank you for reporting this with the proper solution. I think the fix will be available tomorrow.
The shortcut has change to 1,2,3 because Ctrl + Shift + Y in Linux Firefox opens Library... so looks like it changes depends on OS.
Reza Karami said: There must be a way to disable keyboard shortcuts or change it Ctrl + shift + 2 is the "Zero-width non-joiner" character and I can't use it anymore!

Some update about this? i have problem with conflict ctrl + shift + 1 .. i used it for quick switch to the first tab. i would prefer for disabling shortcut because i am using plugin by context menu
Firefox has documentation on how to manage extension shortcuts at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/manifest.json/commands
A normal user can do this, without extension support. Quoting from the link above:
Updating shortcuts
Shortcuts can be updated via commands.update(). Users can also update shortcuts via the "Manage Extension Shortcuts" option at about:addons in Firefox, as shown in this video. In Chrome, users can change shortcuts at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
This Firefox configuration option is exposed as a setting ("cog wheel" icon in the right upper corner), with context menu entry.
This implies that extensions do not need to implement anything to have configurable keyboard shortcuts (or have them removed).
@itsecurityco - perhaps you might want to add some note about keyboard shortcut configuration in your readme?
FWIW, I had a keyboard shortcut conflict with the browser zoom shortcut. That made me investigate.
Hello, just installed the extension and straight away, its default shortcuts are interfering with default focus tab keyboard shortcuts in the Firefox browser. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+1 switches to the first tab but also opens the translate popup (which is empty as there's previously selected text in the fab, of course). Thanks @shoffmeister for the workaround.
