by Firefox user 16749060, 4 years agoEDIT 2: Thanks to another reviewer, I found out you can remap the shortcut key, which was the primary reason for my 3 star choice. Not sure why Okta doesn't ship a default key binding that actually works, or why they haven't updated their own website to reflect this change, and I also think it's pretty telling that I had to find out this information from another reviewer, so I'm not going to change it. Anyways, HUGE thanks Rich L.!
Does what it's supposed to do, which is good enough for me. But seriously, still no keyboard shortcut in March of 2021? I loathe having to click on this thing every time I want to access anything, and the extra 3 seconds it takes for me to click on the plugin and then the search dialog adds up really fast given how often I need to use it. That's literally my only complaint, but I use keyboard shortcuts for almost everything on my computer, so my inability to do this for something I use so often is really quite irritating.
I see there are other reviews which mention this, and there are replies from the Okta team that they're working on it from as far back as September 2019...I understand that web development is not easy (I'm a developer myself), and I know the team has other more important priorities which is totally okay, but I have kind of a hard time believing it takes that long to implement a keyboard shortcut for one browser.
Okta team, thank you sincerely for all the hard work you've done and the very useful/powerful application you've built, but if you could at least share if you're planning on implementing this in the near future, that would be really appreciated, as it well help me decide if I want to find a workaround for this or not.
EDIT: fixed a typo
