- Rated 1 out of 5by robsku, 5 years agoI'm sure I had this working on another laptop, but I have an issue on this, the left alt-key somehow doesn't work for user applications (window manager, etc. no problem, haven't fixed it yet), but no problem, I tried to reconfigure it:
Ctrl+Shift+D - Well, that just opened "add bookmark" popup - that was warned against though, not being able to override browser bindings.
Then I tried pretty much any Ctrl+Shift+[key] - none worked.
Btw, I tried Ctrl+Shift+. and worder if with shift key in the mix I should try ':' and not '.'.
So the issue is, this is useless. I have another add-on, Saka Key, which is really for full keyboard browsing, but the tab tublicate on it doesn't work the way I want with Tree Style Tab. Maybe yours would...?
As of it now, it just seems it only works with Alt, not with Ctrl. Either that or something in my FireFox is messing with it. At the moment it is useless on my main PC :(Developer response
posted 4 years agoI have a strong feeling that the problem is with your particular setup. Can you try to disable your other addons and figure out a minimally reproducible setup? I can't help you with the information you have provided. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 6294859, 5 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by GaryOB, 6 years agoJust got it, changed shortcut, tested it, it works. Yay!

It stopped working a few months ago. Don't know if there was a FF update. All it does now is open a new tab, no duplication. Using FF 72.0.1 in LinuxMint.Developer response
posted 4 years agoCan you provide any more details? How much did you try to debug? - Rated 5 out of 5by scottobob, 6 years agoI'd prefer a configurable shortcut key but this extension does what it says it will do.

posted 6 years agoUpdate: the shortcut can be configured in v1.4.0. Hope you like it!
Thank you for the review! I know they released support for customizing shortcuts in the latest Firefox version, and I will try to find time to update and support that. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13419639, 6 years agoGood, but the duplicated tab doesn't include the tab history. Can we make the new duplicated tab exactly the same (with all history etc) as the original tab? This is required to enable us to navigate back in the duplicated tab if we need to.

posted 6 years agoIn v1.4.0 the history is now preserved again, but only if you do _not_ use the option to open tabs in the background. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13856873, 7 years agoVery unreliable - works once then fails in Firefox
Duplicate tab is an essential feature Mozilla! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13592309, 7 years agoDoesn't work in the German version. It opens the file menu with the shortcut alt-shift-d. No, I don't want to fix it in the source code.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoUpdate: Firefox 60 added the ability to customize shortcuts, and v1.4.0 was just release to support this. Hope you like it! - Rated 5 out of 5by BlueZenith, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13538810, 7 years agoWorks great and I like how it opens the duplicate tab right next to the one being duplicated. Nice! One thing I'm trying to do (and I believe many others are too), is replacing the shortcut to be Ctrl+T. I've seen your suggestion to download the code, change the shortcut and then load it into about:debugging. I've been trying to do that but am stuck. I put the code into Notepad and modified "Alt+Shift+D" to be "Ctrl+T" but don't know what extension to give the file, if any. Also, when I'm in about:debugging, I can't find where to load the new code. Thanks for any help.
PS: Will the "Ctrl+T" I want to use override the default Firefox shortcut? (Hope so!)Developer response
posted 7 years agoUpdate: the shortcut can be configured in v1.4.0. Hope you like it! I do not think you can override any standard Firefox shortcuts, unfortunately.
Hi. Unfortunately they will not accept any extension that overrides a default shortcut. Judging by another comment, they only check the English shortcuts (apparently Alt+Shift+D overrides something in the German version). - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13262784, 7 years agoIf keyboard tools don't take care of international versions of the software they are ment for, then they don't deserve a good rating. Alt-Shift-D will trigger the file menu in a German Firefox. Does not work.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there is no way for me to customize the shortcut based on locale at the moment.
Hopefully Firefox will support customizing the shortcut in a future version.
P.S. You can always download the code, change the shortcut, and load the extension in about:debugging.
