Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox’s Sidebar?
I use the Add-On “Bookmark search plus 2” which is really awesome. When I activate it’s Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven’t found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!
Can’t say I’m familiar with that addon, but have you tried Ctrl+Tab?
@over_clox Well… yes. It takes about 15x Alt-Tabs to get there.
Oof, I hear ya.
Have you tried Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Alt+Shift+Tab?
Adding in Shift reverses the ‘direction’ of control focus, maybe it’s only one or two hotkeys away if you try shift to reverse.
To anyone who would be looking for an answer to my question: I ended up making it work with an AutoHotkey Script. When I press the Hotkeys that open Firefox’s Sidebars, I have AutoHotkey automatically place the Mouse Cursor in the Textarea I want, Click, then relocate the Mouse Cursor to where it initially was, in a flash of a second.
Cheers!
@[email protected] No, unfortunately - see & vote for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502713. (I use BSP2, too.)
I doubt any extension could do it either (new WebExtension API deems such behavior/functionality insecure/too privileged).
I hope it could be customizable by “user.js” or a similar javascript file put in your Firefox profile. If anyone finds anything, report here, please.
Partial alternative: Right click at BSP2 icon > “Open BSP2 in a Tab”. Potentially pin the tab. Then Ctrl+TAB to switch back and forth. For other extensions, figure out “moz-extension://…” URL to their files shown in the sidebar. It may not work exactly well/same as in a sidebar (or it may work better).
