How to Customize Keyboard Shortcuts on Mac

more options

Hello Team,

Firefox does not play well with how you customize keyboard shortcuts on Mac i.e. Go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts.

By default - Move Cursor to Address Bar - Cmd+L Bookmark this Page - Cmd+D

I would like to switch these two shortcuts but there does not seem to be any way. Please help me out.

Thanks, Naman

Evidently you can do that with autoconfig. You will need to remove the blank space in the second link.

Thanks for your response, @terry. However, this is too complicated for me. I just hope firefox plays nicely with MacOS and allows us to modify shortcuts like you would usually do.

Thanks, Naman

I also wish Firefox had a tool to change the built-in keyboard shortcuts. Although support would be more difficult...

Is the problem that Mac OS isn't able to intercept those keys after you assign them new functions at the system level, or that is working, but now you need other methods to call up those actions in Firefox?

I didn't mention your page because each source used a different name for the file and I thought two different names was enough.

No worries.
