- Rated 5 out of 5by darkconsole, prieš 6 metusthe 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, prieš 6 metusWorked like a charm for my needs (ctrl+1 and ctrl+9)
- Rated 5 out of 5by The Beard Below My Chin, prieš 6 metusVery 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, prieš 6 metusVery 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.

(unfortunately, you have to register first, free of course). - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12531918, prieš 6 metusHow about scroll down/scroll up/mouse click triggers?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13380433, prieš 6 metusI need set "F1" key to run "inspector" in firefox ( default key is Ctrl+Shift+C ) Please help me to do it
- Rated 5 out of 5by bodwyn, prieš 7 metusI'm actually looking for an extension to disable ctrl+w, which Shortkeys doesn't do, but
Mike was very prompt, clear and helpful to respond to me, so full marks for service, and
Shortkeys dev team (probably Mike) has a new fan when I need its functionality. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13543417, prieš 7 metusI'm so glad this extension was ported to Firefox Quantum! It's a very useful tool when working on designing web apps! Thank you for your continued support, Peter Malecka. :)
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13509679, prieš 7 metusGreat! However, it took me some time to enter the keywords in small letters - and everything works fine for me!!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by jjmcgaffey, prieš 7 metusThank you. I've been using Dorando KeyConfig for ages (even when it stopped being officially supported, and I had to sneak it in to Firefox) - I _hate_ backspace taking me back a page any time a text field isn't in focus, and the Alt-arrow back and forward drives me nuts (a two-handed shortcut? Really? I know, there's an Alt key on the right too - I never use it). I was afraid I'd lose my fixes - Alt-z for back and Alt-x for forward - with version 57. Thank you so much for making this!
It is a little bit complicated, because the text fields for creating a shortcut will happily take Alt or Backspace and then ignore it because it's not the key (which is alt or backspace - no caps). I had to go round a couple times to get that set up right (the instructions on the right are very helpful). But now it works, yay! Saved my sanity. - Rated 5 out of 5by nico wijaya, prieš 7 metus
- Rated 5 out of 5by Whetsit Tuya, prieš 7 metusAcceptable alternative to Dorando Keyconfig in wake of FF v57.0
Developer response
posted prieš 7 metusThanks for the review. The addon description has been updated. Go to Addons->Shortkeys->Options to configure key combos. - Rated 5 out of 5by Lee Peterson, prieš 7 metusF1 for Go Back and F2 for Go Forward have always seemed like logical keyboard shortcuts to me, and for some reason Firefox has never exposed those actions for the OS to hook onto. This add-on is pure genius, not just for my reasons, but for so many more. Great job. Saved me the time of digging into WebExtensions myself tonight.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Chris Peterson, prieš 7 metusFor some reason, this add-on is hardcoded to only work in Firefox versions 50 or earlier:

Update: The problem was fixed. Thanks!
