Keyboard shortcut for Paste and Go?

I haven't used any other browser other than Firefox for about 6 years now so I'm pretty comfortable with how it does stuff.

Oh, so you simply do not know what you're missing If it weren't for Opera we wouldn't have AIOS or P&G2. As for CTRL+B in Paste and Go 2 you can select "Assign high priority to Hotkeys of...".

Not even remotely curious...

what is the reason you you came to this thread then? Perhaps somewhere deep inside your mind you desire the keyboard shortcut? Think about it

I wonder how many Firefox-ers use more than one browser? Firefox is my default and preferred choice overall, because it has the best combination of features and usability, but I also use Chrome a lot, occasionally Opera and IE when I have to - often via the IE Tab 2 extension.

I've found that no one browser is better than all others in every respect. So that's a reason I sometimes switch to the others for certain tasks. But even if I didn't, and only used Firefox, it benefits from the competition from other browsers. I've actually discovered Firefox extensions because a feature(s) has existed natively, or via extensions , in one of the other browsers. Paste and Go (I think, can't exactly recall) I may have discovered originally in Opera and then sought out the Firefox extension.

Thanks much, I just made the changes but haven't restarted FF yet, got too many things going
right now.

Thanks again

p.s. I assume paste is the same as before, right mouse, or ctrl-V ?

Are there other options for paste ? e.g. single right click on mouse ?

If you're referring to the Paste and Go 2 extension, I posted a screenshot of its options at the top of this page.
Most mice with multiple buttons have an option to configure them in the mouse driver. You could set one of the side buttons to act as Ctrl+V.

That's not even remotely related.

1. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.
2. Press the big button to bypass the warning.
3. In the Filter bar, paste clipboard.autocopy
4. In the search results, double-click clipboard.autocopy to set its value to true (default on Linux).

I did this, but no change .... is there something else I need to do

Did you restart the browser?

It looks like it doesn't work on Windows. The preference might just be there to allow Linux users to disable the feature. You can try an extension like ClickCutter AutoCopy.

So I tried to reverse my earlier changes, since they won't work....

When I try about:config it bounces me here

Any ideas ??

FYI for anyone who also hangs out in Google Chrome... I discovered by accident that you can get keyboard-enabled Paste and Go there too. If you have Google Instant enabled then a simple Ctrl+V in the Omnibox does Paste and Go.

Modifying the install.rdf file of Paste and Go 2/3 no longer works for me in Firefox 15. The browser says that it cannot install the add-on as it appears to be broken.

Does anyone have a working version?

what is the reason you you came back to this thread ? Perhaps somewhere deep inside your mind you desire the keyboard shortcut? Think about it

[buggeer]

The reason I came back is that I've created this thread So my desire for the shortcut isn't laying deep in my mind at all, it's clearly visible
The reason I ask about the Paste and Go 3 for Firefox 15 is the fact, that the conclusion users in this thread reached is that we still have to use this add-on to access this basic function in Firefox.

[patrickjdempsey]

And yet, when it was thread started over a year ago Firefox already had this "basic function" built-in... just not to your liking. In that time you probably could have trained yourself the short-cuts:

Ctrl+K+Enter
Ctrl+L+Enter

[buggeer]

And you could have read the thread to learn how the Paste and Go add-on works and why the built-in function doesn't even come close.
