Overwrite Firefox Default ctrl+number shortcut

Open iShyboy opened this issue 8 years ago • 7 comments

Who doesn't have more than ten tabs in a group? I have, like, in all of them. Now let's change the question, who have more than ten groups? You have around ten? FF default shortcut for ctrl+number is take you from your current tab to the tab of the number pressed, from left to right.

Now, with the release of the beta 2b4 we have the option to set rules to the groups and make tabs go to them automatically, so... lets change this default shortcut to a more productive way.

ctrl + number 1~0 go to groups 1~10 accordingly to the single view mode, as with the default next/prev shortcut of the addon.

There is no conflict and no need to choose. When in normal browsing mode, go tab X upon pressing Alt+X, When in single view, go to Group X with the same press. At least, that would be my suggestion.

PS: It's Alt+X, not Ctrl+X PPS: I suggest to rename the title of this ticket to "RFE: jump to tab group"

Would be nice if Ctrl+PgUp/PgDn would work as well to go to previous and next tab group.

I'v always wanted to put ctrl + ' to "go to last group" so we could have ctrl 1-0 to groups 1-10 and ctrl + ' to last visited group since the keys are close it would be fast. But FF put that 'quick search' and 'link search' and f**ked with those keys.

ctrl + ' is generally a poor choice for default keyboard shortcut as it requires another modifier key such as shift on many international keyboard layouts.

And again, @iShyboy, the current default for switching tabs is Alt+$number, not Ctrl+$number. Or is that different on non-Linux?

@leggewie here it's ctrl+ $number since... ever. Can't test on linux now. What I mean, it's not the key for the shortcut, it's overwrite the shotcut itself, if it's different keys for other SOs be it, just the overwrite the keys for this shortcut then,
