Customize Firefox keyboard shortcuts
By glazou on Monday 5 December 2011, 14:38 - Mozilla - Permalink
I adapted my code from BlueGriffon to Firefox this morning. Apparently Tim Taubert independently had the same idea - and also the same UI - a while ago. I promise I did not know about his code when I started mine. Anyway, you can find my XPI for Firefox 5+ here. Warning, in the case of Firefox, it's still highly experimental, can lead to severe issues because of bug 707633. Restart Firefox after installation and you'll find a new panel in the Preferences window.
(if you experience long delay between the click on the XPI link above and the "Install add-on" dialog, that's bug 657581)

I have a question: your addon supports the creation of new shortcuts via JS code?
I have tried some months ago the Tim Taubert addon, it works very fine in replacing existing shortcuts, but, if I remember correctly, it doesn't support the creation of new ones.
For this reason I have continued to use the old (but fully functional) keyconfig addon:

I have forced max version to avoid issues with the fast release cycle.
In Firefox, I am interested only in changing the Panorama key and to create a pin/unpin key, but I need to create a new customized shortcut via JS code.
Really, this addon is more useful in Thunderbird, but if your extension supports the creation of new shortcut I am happy to use it instead of the old keyconfig.
Thanks
@gialloporpora: yes it does.
Finally! All of the other plugins that claim to do this has shortfalls... thanks for this one!
