Keyboard shortcut

[Claud43]

Hi, I am wondering if there a Keyboard shortcut for pin a tab and unpin a tab? Also, to open the menu?

Thank you,
Claudia

If you mean open the menu bar, then Alt+ any of the menu hotkeys (F for file, E for Edit, etc.) will do the job.

Hi, I am wondering if there a Keyboard shortcut for pin a tab and unpin a tab? ...

I'm guessing someone would have to write a script to right-click on the active tab followed by a keypress and release of the letter "P" to pin a tab. Unpinning maybe even more difficult?

Off topic:

You can pin and unpin the current tab with the Foxy Gestures extension.

Hello,

I am wondering if there a Keyboard shortcut for pin a tab and unpin a tab?

No. That's bug 626101 which was closed as WONTFIX 7 years ago. If you have some sort of third-party application that can run macros via keyboard shortcut or mouse button, then this would be a lot less tedious to perform:

1. Alt+D, Ctrl+L or F6 to go to the location bar.
2. Shift+Tab to focus the identity button.
3. Shift+Tab again to focus the current tab.
4. Application key (on the right side, between the Windows logo key and Ctrl) to bring up the context menu.
5. p to pin the tab or b to unpin it.

Also, to open the menu?

Again, no. That's bug 1259818 which is currently still open.

Shortkeys claims to be able to assign a keyboard shortcut to pinning/unpinning a tab. I can't get it to do anything in the latest Nightly, but maybe it works in Firefox 57.

I got the following settings working with the shortkeys extension.

* open about:addons in tab 1
* open test page in tab 2
* select tab 1
* open shortkeys options

Keyboard shortcut: ctrl+shift+1
Behavior: Pin/unpin tab
Websites: All sites

* left click save button
* select tab 1
* reload
* press ctrl+shift+1

If these settings fail, then delete shortcuts, save, restart and try again.

The keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+1 succeeds.
The keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+! fails.

The extension is kinda buggy. Sometimes the label as box is not same the behavior box. I had to delete shortcuts, save and restart to get it working.

What is "Shortcuts for Chrome" in options? Did the developer forget to change the label to Firefox? The "Email me" link in options is the original Chrome developer, not Peter Malecka...

I'm testing with Firefox 57 with multiprocess disabled.

It turned out not to be a problem specific to Nightly. The description for Shortkeys claims that due to current Firefox API limitations, it only works when a fully loaded web page has focus. That means it won't work when you've selected the location bar or search bar, or when you're on any of the internal pages like about:home, about:newtab, about:blank, etc.

However, Pin Unpin Tab works just fine in those situations

I want to thank you SO much for finding this for me. It works perfectly! I really appreciate it a lot!
