Jump to navigationJump to search
These are example lines you can add to Firefox's prefs.js or user.js files to customize keyboard shortcuts. You need to install keyconfig extension first. A similar page for Thunderbird is available.

Keybinding for Bookmark Keyword (replace "KEYWORD" with your keyword):

user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Keyword 1", "!][][][if(window.loadURI) loadURI(getShortcutOrURI('KEYWORD',{}));");

Back Menu (like right-clicking the Back Button):

user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Back Menu", '!][][][var elm = document.getElementById("back-button"); var x = elm.boxObject.x; var y = elm.boxObject.y + elm.boxObject.height + 25; document.getElementById("backMenu").showPopup(elm, x, y, "popup", null, null);');

Forward Menu (like right-clicking the Forward Button):

user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Forward Menu", '!][][][var elm = document.getElementById("forward-button"); var x = elm.boxObject.x; var y = elm.boxObject.y + elm.boxObject.height + 25; document.getElementById("forwardMenu").showPopup(elm, x, y, "popup", null, null);');

Focus Content (activate the content, where the page is showed, as if you would click on it; you need this for example when you want to scroll with the cursor keys and nothing happens):

user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Focus Content", "!][][][_content.focus();");

Scrolling:

user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Page Down", "!][][][goDoCommand('cmd_scrollPageDown');");
