Can't trigger extension using keyboard shortcut in Firefox about web-companion

[pbek]

I guess (your?) Firefox doesn't honor the default shortcut set here:

web-companion/app/manifest.json

Lines 68 to 72 in a599247

	"__firefox__commands": {
	"_execute_browser_action": {
	"suggested_key": { "default": "Ctrl+Shift+B" }
	}
	}

I personally use Ctrl+Alt+B everywhere. Maybe I just set that as default too now...

Indeed : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1317877

Ctrl+Shift+B now toggles the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Do you think it would be possible to implement other shortcuts like Chrome ?

[pbek]

What "other shortcuts like Chrome"?

[husimo-tilleuls]

As listed here : https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion#chrome ; there's only one listed for Firefox versus more for Chrome

Those just use HTML Access Keys, they should also work under Firefox, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/accesskey. Thank you, I'll add the link to the README.

Okay, nice. I tried it the first one : https://github.com/qownnotes/web-companion/blob/develop/README.md?plain=1#L57

And Firefox triggers the menu bar on Alt key ;'(

I personally use Ctrl+Alt+B everywhere.

You can set that shortcut too in the Firefox extension settings, those are well hidden in Firefox. 😬

And Firefox triggers the menu bar on Alt key ;'(

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/accesskey says Alt + Shift (on Windows and Linux).

Nice, it's working, thank you!

22.12.0

• changed Firefox default shortcut to Ctrl + Alt + B since the browser blocked Ctrl + Shift + B
  (for #48)

There now is a new release, could you please test it and report if it works for you?

[husimo-tilleuls]

Hello, thank you! It's not yet available in my Firefox and I don't have time right now to install it manually but I'll tell you ASAP ;-)

[pbek]

Mozilla needs some time for the review process... ;)

[pbek]

It's online...

[husimo-tilleuls]

LGTM! Thank's a lot!

If there's any way to support your work I would be glad to!

[pbek]

Thank you. :) Reporting issues that creep up when browser vendors change things already helps a lot.
