Hi,

look at this product and look for information about shortcuts and the firefox API:

• Addon-Shortkeys

Then this:

• Firefox-Shortcuts

• Addon from the firefox-support-article Saka-Key

Give in 'about:config' in the addressbar and search for shortcut, hotkey, override or keyboard.

Pls reply back.

You can look at this pref on the about:config page.

• permissions.default.shortcuts (default = 0)

UNKNOWN: Services.perms.UNKNOWN_ACTION [0]
ALLOW: Services.perms.ALLOW_ACTION [1]
BLOCK: Services.perms.DENY_ACTION [2]
PROMPT: Services.perms.PROMPT_ACTION [3]

setting permissions.default.shortcuts to 2 solved the issue, but when that is set to 2, my backspace key doesn't work.

This doesn't happen when it is set to 0, 1, or 3.

Is that expected?

Is this about the backspace key in an input field?

The backspace key and also the Delete key do not seem to work to delete text. If I select text (Shift + Left) then the Delete key works.

What specific reason do you have to disable shortcut keys?

yes, it is an input field.

I've disabled the shortcut keys because it kept interfering with the keyboard shortcuts for an add-on that I have installed.

If you can't live with selecting the text and using the delete key then maybe contact the developer of that extension.

Well, the extension isn't broken, it's working as intended. The problem is FF's shortcut system.

Shortcut options should be in settings. Addons should not be required.

Once again, I work more on fixing ff than using it....

Firefox is doing it wrong.
