[Bug 66566]
(In reply to gpy98671 from comment #148) gpy98671 until the team changes it's opinion on this, which doesn't look likely, there would need to be an extension to get your desired functionality back. However AFAIK webextensions do not have this capability right now.

Jesse, you can follow the progress of the issue/bug for better keyboard shortcut control here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061 When it's done there can be extensions that change this behavior. It is a bit unfortunate the change to webextensions was rushed and now we are missing some features. :Gijs, I don't know how to tag people here so I hope posting here again is ok to contact you. Could you show me the lines where you changed this code so I can have a look at it? Because on the issue I created it was said that it might be too much development effort to fix the issue (resolving the inconsistency of pressing multiple modifiers and enter in the navbar).

[Bug 66566]
Hey all, I think opening a new tab in background in a fast way/without leaving the current page is very useful. I had an extension for that but it's no longer possible because webext API does not offer that possibility. That's why I'm following this bug closely. However now I'm surprised. Here are all the things that happen on Firefox nightly 64.0a1 (2018-09-06) (64-Bit): ctrl: add www..com ctrl shift: www.com (should be add www..com in new window?) shift: new window foreground alt: new tab foreground alt ctrl: add www..com and open in new tab foreground alt shift: nothing happens, should be default action in tab background or new window background? alt shift ctrl: www.com new tab background The name/description of this bug is "Inconsistent "open in new tab" shortcuts (Ctrl+Enter for links, but Alt+Enter in address bar and search bar)" So I think the changes now are useful, but do they solve the original issue? Ctrl+Enter still doesn't open a new tab in background, like it does everywhere else. I suggest: ctrl: open in new tab in background shift: open in new window in foreground alt: Doesn't matter to me, maybe add www..com so people who want it still have it or keep it as new tab in foreground (but what's the advantage of that? just hit ctrl+t) ctrl shift: open in new window in background alt shift: like alt but in new window in foreground alt ctrl: like alt but in new background tab alt shift ctrl: like alt but in new window in background What do you think? Sorry, I don't want to stand in the way of closing this or marking it as fixed, but it doesn't seem to address the original point to me. Anyway thanks for the changes and reading this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/66566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi! Yes it is possible! Well no to be exact, not possible with ctrl+enter but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. You can try the newest nightly/alpha/Aurora version of Firefox and test it out yourself. So you could use it right now :-) So if Webextensions can modify about:config settings you could revive your extension but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. I don't think it's possible for Webextensions to edit that keyboard command (some others like ctrl+f are possible to rewrite though). If you want to track progress on that issue, it is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061 However enter is not even a keyboard shortcut I suppose so it is probably not affected by that issue, right? Oh and it's not possible with the search bar right now! They don't seem to share the code. Is that considered as a bug? :Gijs? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/66566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(Yeah, but not using the URL bar is just not as nice. For example look & feel, use search & bookmarks keywords, afaik.) Ah thanks, I missed the mention of that pref! Well I'd rather have it not be consistent, but I understand your reasoning and gave my opinion. Still, should the combinations not stack like ctrl+shift canonize and open in new window? alt+ctrl does already stack as expected (canonize and open new tab). Why does only that stack? And alt+shift to open in new background tab would be incredibly useful for users who don't want to mess with about:config or don't know about it. They can just find it by trying it out or understanding how stacking should work. Anyway this is a followup issue and you said you wanted this bug to be closed, so if I don't hear back soon I'll submit a new ticket.

Hello, can we have alt+return open the page in the background? It's useful when you want to do something later. If you want to focus the page immediately, like Firefox does right now for alt+return, you can just use ctrl+t so I don't understand why alt+return opens in foreground too since there is already ctrl+t for that. Before there was the extension background tabs but there is no Webextension version of that.

Hi Aaron, muscle memory is a reasonable point to me. However you could say the same about the people who muscle memorized the current function maybe. Your three listed points all look legit to me. For all of them, opening in new *background* tab instead of new tab in focus is actually a better option I suppose. Especially your last point > * reload the same page in a background tab As it is right now you'd have to wait for the site to finish loading up (or switch back to your other tab).

Hi Christopher, I kinda agree. However the change may be confusing for users who use the ctrl+enter to add .com. What is your suggestion for that shortcut? Swap it with alt+enter? Also, the current "open in new tab" doesn't really make sense to me. If one wants to immediately switch to that tab, one can also just use ctrl+t. Maybe then change that behaviour to "open in new background tab" just like the extension does? But this may be out of the scope for this issue.

Hi all, the extension background tabs works for that purpose. It's also extra useful because it opens the url you put in in a new background tab. If you want to open it and also focus you can use ctrl+t. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66566 Title: Inconsistent shortcuts for new tab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/66566/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
