Unable to map "reopen last tab" to ctrl+shift+w

I tried many permutations

2023-12-27 05_41_49-Shortkeys Options — Mozilla Firefox

But the current keybind for this key is "close window" is still what happens when I press it.

Firefox "let" you set shortcuts here. 56 options are mappable, but restricted to: ctrl + atl + key Firefox warn you about the fact you are not allowed to remap defaults shortcuts.

Currently in most browsers, "ctrl + shift + t" will reopen the last closed tab, circumventing the need for the extension totally.

@DigitalFork You misunderstand, I want ctrl + shift + w to undo close tab

CTRL+W closes tab

CTRL+SHIFT+W uncloses tabs

There is a solution though.

Using microsoft powertoys keyboard manager

You can remap CTRL+SHIFT+T to CTRL+SHIFT+W and only for firefox.exe

It shouldn't take that much effort, but keybinding accessibility is still not taken with the seriousness it deserves in 2024.
