I want a hotkey for 'home'. Where is that hotkey for 'home'?

See, so far I understand that there will be no customisable hotkey feature for Firefox.

But couldn't you just add a hotkey for the 'home' button? Ctrl+Space for example. Then one could easily jump to e.g. his/her favourite search engine.

Thanks for your answer, Xircal :)

CTRL+K only lets the curser jump into the upper left search field CTRL+E, well, nothing happend, at least not with my FF 4.0.1.

I want a hotkey for loading the starting-page, the one saved under the 'home'-button.

Be Well :)

Cool, it works, thank you!


So, for all you search-engines out there:

Firefox 4 home shortcut hotkey : ALT+Home

(german keyboard layout : ALT+Pos1)


Be Well :)

Ooops, I hit the wrong button. Can the choice be made undone?

I don't think so. There is an "Edit" button, but I don't think it influences your choice of answers.

But don't worry, I'll remember the right one. ;)
