Want keyboard shortcut for duplicate tab function.
I know that holding alt+d, and then releasing d and pressing Enter, will accomplish this, but I'm a little princess, and want a single stroke shortcut. ...And I could just use mouse gestures, but... princess.
Until recently, I used ctl+shift+u, but that involved three plugins, mostly deprecated, and that method, lately, suffers from an annoying bug. (uncloseable blank tab always on screen.)
That janky, three-plugin combo, if you're interested: - keyconfig (to rebind kybd shortcuts if defaults conflict) http://mozilla.dorando.at/ - duplicate Tab http://twanno.mozdev.org/ - disable add-on Compatibility Checks (allowing deprecated add-ons to work) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/
Please hit me with solutions.

Willing to pay a bounty to get something better. If there's support, I'll start up a little project on BountySource.com and maybe we can get it done.

You can middle-click the Reload button at the left end of the location/address bar to duplicate the current tab. You can also hold the Ctrl key and drag the tab to another position on the Tab bar. I don't know of a shortcut key.
The command is Browser:ReloadOrDuplicate (=> BrowserReloadOrDuplicate(event))
I'll try mapping the command with keyconfig, and report back!
Try this command:
- BrowserReloadOrDuplicate({ctrlKey:true});
Thanks. Haven't gotten to it yet. I'll be sure to report back, though.
I poked around for a bit. Sadly, it looks like keyconfig will neither allow me to add new shortcuts, nor substantially edit existing shortcuts to the extent necessary.
Wishlist: 1. (Updated) extension adding duplicate tab single stroke keyboard shortcut (e.g. ctrl-shift-U)
Or, in lieu of that,
2. extension to add new and/or fully remap existing keyboard shortcuts, (e.g. remap ctrl-shift-T FROM undoCloseTab(); TO BrowserReloadOrDuplicate({ctrlKey:true}); )
Looks like I was able to do this shortcut before not with keyconfig, but because it was built into the plugin http://twanno.mozdev.org/ ...and I used keyconfig for something else entirely. Flaky memory!
In lieu of something new, I'll either try to get used to a mouse gesture or suffer through a persistent, empty tab.
Thanks for the help.
