Firefox: Keyboard shortcut fails first time pressed in each tab

[jabranham]

Currently the keyboard shortcut does not work unless the button is physically pressed first. I've got no idea why; related to #19.

I spent some time trying to get it to work without much luck. It's possibly a bug in Firefox, as it seems to work in Chromium with no problems.

I don't understand. Are you saying that after you physically press the button once, the binding begins to work as well?

[jabranham]

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Since it works in Chrome(ium) I'm betting this is a Firefox bug. I reported it to Mozilla a few hours ago, here's the report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1365176

I'll let you know if/when they follow up.

What version of Firefox? Once it begins working, does it work on all tabs or just the tab where you initially pressed it? Does it continue working after you do a hard refresh? Does it continue working once you close said tab? Window?

1 - 53 2 - No, just the tab where I initially pressed it 3 - No 4 - No

Thanks! It is also possible that I am not initializing the binding/extension properly. I relied on user reports (and my own short test) to make sure the extension indeed works on FF as well, but haven't looked at the docs more more than a glance. If you wish, you can make sure that there isn't any missing ingredient in the mix. I will do it myself eventually but it will take me some time (few weeks probably) as I am overwhelmed with other duties at the moment.

@jabranham did you get any response regarding the firefox issue?

[jabranham]

They've marked it as a duplicate. I haven't had time yet to make sure it actually *is* a duplicate, though. The info should be in the link I posted earlier if you want to look at it.

Same here with Firefox Quantum...nothing happens with keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+L.

Did they remove the shortcuts in newer firefox? I can't seem to be able to find where to set it anymore.

@sprig If there is some standard way to do this it would be much appreciated to put it in the README, I couldn't find it there either.

Any new of this?

With new Firefox version, you can now customize keyboard shortcuts: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-extension-shortcuts-firefox

It is what I do, and it works fine now 👍

@prestancedesign very nice shortcut, regrettably does not work with text selection (which remembers me to the same it happens with thunderlink in thunderbird)

EDIT: ah oh, depends on the website, with element.io and telegram (a and k version) does not work, with whatsapp web works. In general, works with any website, but certain websites do not like this plugin 🤷

EDIT 2: I tried other commands with Alt such as Alt+1, Alt+x, etc. and the selection is lost on that applications. I found another shortcut that preserves the selection and solved the problem: Ctrl+Alt+C
