It would be great if there was a way to customize hotkeys.
Here's how I see it:
 * Have a about:hotkeys panel, with all actions listed, and already mapped shortcuts shown.
 * Whether these should be modifiable or not is up to the dev community, ideally they'd be.
 * When clicking on a hotkey field, ideally, there would be a capturing hotkey feature, or, before this, an AHK like syntax to define hotkeys (not as complex, something like: CTRL+H means this and MAJ+ALT+END means that...)

 * a restore to default button.
 * Done.

It can't be done with an extension because some function can't be accessed by extensions (I'm actually looking for a way to send tab to other device while browsing with TST.). Anyway, I believe this should boost productivity in a number of ways. You guys are devs, you know keyboards are faster than mice. 😛

 

edit: Corrected the typos, it's been bugging me for months now😅

I can't express how much frustration configurable shortcuts could save. Vimmatic uses shift+escape to blacklist websites, and it's interferes with firefox's keybinds. Same happens with cmd+shift+s, same happens in bunch f different extensions. Please. Please!

This has been running since at least 2022 and was requested by Mozilla apparently. So, here we are, two years later, with a clear consensus that user hotkeys are wanted yet no response or feedback. What was the point of even replying?

One up! This would be such a good feature, I'd love to have it in Firefox.

Compared to operating systems' hotkeys, I strongly disagree. Users would then have no way to tell each other what keys to push for specified commands. Do you understand?
