Customize keyboard shortcuts

[aaaaaadrian]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In Firefox and Floorp, using ⇧+⌥+⬅️ or ⇧+⌥+➡️ would allow me to select whole words at a time starting from the cursor, instead of using ⇧+⌘+⬅️ or ⇧+⌘+➡️ which selects the entire line from the cursor position.

In Waterfox, using ⇧+⌥+⬅️ or ⇧+⌥+➡️ cycles through open tabs, which is a duplicated function of ⇧+⌘+[ or ⇧+⌘+], respectively.

I am frustrated by trying to edit documents in the browser where I only need a few words of a line selected, but it does not work.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to disable the ⇧+⌥+⬅️ or ⇧+⌥+➡️ shortcuts for tab browsing, or at least be able to choose either ⇧+⌥+⬅️ / ⇧+⌥+➡️ or ⇧+⌘+[ / ⇧+⌘+]

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have searched the advanced config and thought about extensions for shortcuts, but I don't want to bloat the browser.

Same problem :( I'm already thinking about switching back to FireFox and using WaterFox as a second browser

And +1. That's impossible to actually work with text in Waterfox. That's not even a feature request, overriding a standard text editing function is an actual bug.

@maddler should I report as a bug instead then?

[maddler]

Bit of a crossover here I'd guess. But, yes, I'd be tempted to say that, yes, that's a bug. Also considering this behaviour was only introduced with 6.0.16. I downgraded to 6.0.15 and everything working as expected.
