inteference between : bookmarks shorcut of firefox (alt+number) and unicode shorcut (alt + number)
Hi everyone,
First of all, thank you for your help you brought me long time ago reading yours answers concerning different others issues. Today, I didn't find the answer to my issue in the historic base of questions/answers...Maybe, I also missed the answer... anyway...
My problem is the following: I have habits to use the unicode shortcut every day (exemple : ä <--> alt+132) but this is not possible if the "Bookmark Toolbar Shortcuts" add-ons of firefox is active because I suppose there inteference with bookmarks shorcut that I also use a lot. So, I have to disable every time the add-ons, which is a boring operation... I tried to modify the shorcut of the "bookmark toolbar shorcut" add-ons but, Firefox send me "you can't override firefox shorcut"....
Does someone find a solution to this problem ?
I found this link which talk about of the subject but without a real answer : https://superuser.com/questions/1322464/how-to-prevent-firefox-keyboard-shortcuts-from-interfering-with-unicode-input
I thank you in advance for you help!
kind regards,
Simon

You can install the US International keyboard layout and switch to that layout if you need to type accented letters. This layout supports dead keys and easily allows to enter accented characters easily, press the dead key twice to get the accent.
You can assign a specific keyboard sequence to select this layout and disable a possible simple modifier shortcut to cycle between layouts.

Try a different key combination like Ctrl+Alt+1 or Shift+Alt+1.
