Keyboard shortcut registry for extension authors - Firefox

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

Here you may find listed many of the keyboard shortcut key combinations already used by Firefox and its extensions. If you are the author of a Firefox extension whose shortcuts are not listed or are incorrect here, please record those shortcuts and update the table with any changes as you make them.

If you are not an author but you know of Firefox extensions whose shortcuts are not included here, please help by adding them. Hopefully this will be useful for authors seeking unused key combinations for their use and to reduce the likelihood of extensions conflicting with each other.

It is not really intended for extension users who want to know how to use the shortcuts for particular extensions. Nor is it ordered in such a way as to be suitable for that purpose. However, where key conflict arises, users may find it helpful in resolving the problem.

The table is ordered as the KeyConfig Extension shows when displaying shortcut keys sorted by key combination and, within that, by shortcut name.

In most cases, shortcuts that use Ctrl on Windows use Cmd (⌘) in Mac OS X, and those that use Alt on Windows use Opt (⌥) in Mac OS X.
