Change the shortcut for Tab Focus to something more meaningful. #585

Closed grssam closed 10 months ago

grssam commented 13 years ago

Ctrl+Shift+L is no where related to Tab Focus , also it conflicts with a developer tools addon "Tilt" ( though its in experimental stages and rarely someone might be using it) I propose Changing the "L" to "F" as for "Focus" .

F is the one for full screen, which is much more common, its hard to find one that isn't used by something. Maybe add an about:config to disable it.

Ctrl+Shift+F is not assigned to any feature , Fullscreen's shortcut is F11.

Ctrl+Shift+F opens adblock plus preferences (at least for me, at least I don't think I can change it without using keyconfig)

grssam commented 13 years ago

So Ctrl+Shift+F will also not do, but surely Ctrl+Shift+L should also be avoided

It will be very hard to find a key combination that isn't already used by something. For one of my add-ons I eventually gave up and built a list of about 6-7 possible key combinations, including a couple with function F# keys or +alt modifiers, and let the user choose from available ones (defaulting to the first free key combination on the list).

Also what about Ctrl+Shift+U or Ctrl+M? Even though they also have nothing to do with tabs or "focus", I don't remember anything that uses those (there's an 'u' in focus... :) )

Ctrf+Shift+F is the system default for full screen on the mac. I'll move it to something more unique or maybe in the long run. Hmm, Jetpack should probably have components that let people specify shortcuts through the app preferences.
