- Rated 5 out of 5by Heat_X, 6 years agoIt's a shame there are so many low ratings from people that couldn't figure out how to use it. It works exactly as described, and does it perfectly. I used to use vimperator but now that quantum has killed it this is the next best thing.
Also the description says that it cannot override default firefox shortcuts, but it is kind of misleading, it totally can most of the time - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14540761, 6 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14558431, 6 years agoNone of the hotkeys I try to remap save, despite clicking the Add button. I often use my ctrl button, and WASD. Ctrl+w closes my tab, and I don't want it to. This addon didn't help that in any way.

Read the description: "shortkeys cannot override Firefox default shortcuts such as: ctrl+j, alt+d and
others using the "Do nothing" action *outside of the webpage* e.g. the default firefox chortcut will still work in the url bar/ search bar"
It's only for adding additional shortkeys, not for changing the default one, as it doesn't seem possible with a web-extension yet. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14448194, 6 years agoSimply does not work for default shortcuts. I want to disable ctrl+w for a webpage that has a terminal emulator, and ctrl+w is one of the shortcuts I need to enter. I try to disable it through the extension, and it does not work even after restarting the whole browser. Does not do what is described.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Windthin, 6 years agoThis did not work at all. I got it in the hopes of nullifying the annoying F12/F11 keys, and it did not function at all.

- Rated 5 out of 5by darkconsole, 6 years agothe ability to run custom javascript within the page on a hotkey was a damn godsend, since all the bookmark toolbar plugins that used to let you do alt+whatever apparently can no longer execute bookmarklets that start with the javascript: prefix. a blessing in disguise because now i don't have to write these obtuse as hell double encoded javascript bookmarklets to do things like ninja videos out of their players - now i can do it with properly formatted scripting that is easy to update.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14168767, 6 years agoWorked like a charm for my needs (ctrl+1 and ctrl+9)
- Rated 2 out of 5by wildhearts1, 6 years agoI use ctrl+shift+u key combination for 'Copy URL' but copied text always has a new line feed before url text.
Do you know any solution or could you fix it? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14128409, 6 years agoAfter re-install backspace deactivate shortcut doesn't work.
- Rated 5 out of 5by The Beard Below My Chin, 6 years agoVery good add-on. The fact you can use The Konami code as a hotkey is frikken brilliant. Another gem, I wished I discovered sooner.
@ Davin it does has scroll up/down RTFM. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12837810, 6 years agoVery good. Thanks!
Problem: Some form fields are not recognized as such.
So, if shortcuts are assigned to alpha-letters, or to cursor keys, the filed becomes unusable.
A stopgap measure would be to have a Button to enable/disable the extension.
An example: Try to comment on:

(unfortunately, you have to register first, free of course). - Rated 4 out of 5by Davin, 6 years agoCould better if it adds "Page Up" "Page Down" actions to dropdown choices. "Scroll" and "Scroll more" is not enough. Thanks for a great extension so far. I love it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12531918, 6 years agoHow about scroll down/scroll up/mouse click triggers?
- Rated 3 out of 5by forMoz, 7 years agoThis is the most amount of permissions I have seen any addon ask for. What on earth does assigning a key have anything to do with accessing my data on all web pages ??
Updated to 3star as the dev disclosed why the permissions. Seems very intrusive and am going back to Vivaldi because FF is lousy about giving us control in this matter.
