Assign hotkeys via omni.js

[userofff]

Early on version 69 this way is work, but in 70 is broken

Code: Select all

cd /usr/lib/firefox/browser
cp omni.ja omni.ja.orig
mkdir x; cd x
unzip ../omni.ja

mcedit ./chrome/browser/content/browser/browser.xhtml

Add before <key id="focusURLBar" key="&openCmd.commandkey;" next strings:

Code: Select all

	<key id="key_newNavigatorTab" keycode="VK_F4"  command="cmd_newNavigatorTabNoEvent" reserved="true"/>
	<key id="gregzilla_prevTab" keycode="VK_F1" command="Browser:PrevTab" oncommand="gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1, true);" reserved="true"/>
	<key id="gregzilla_nextTab" keycode="VK_F2" command="Browser:NextTab" oncommand="gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1, true);"  reserved="true"/>
	<key id="gregzilla_closeTab" key="x" command="cmd_close" modifiers="alt" reserved="true"/>

And in finnaly pack back omni.ja

Code: Select all

zip -qr0XD ../omni.ja *

Firefox start, but all UI is broken

How fix it?

Isn't the omni.ja file signed now? I thought you couldn't hack it anymore.

Try to this code:

<key id="key_newNavigatorTab" keycode="VK_F4" command="cmd_newNavigatorTabNoEvent" />
<key id="gregzilla_prevTab" keycode="VK_F1" oncommand="gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1, true);" />
<key id="gregzilla_nextTab" keycode="VK_F2" oncommand="gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1, true);" />
<key id="gregzilla_closeTab" key="x" command="cmd_close" modifiers="alt" />

But ff is not starting

Maybe there is another method to assign hotkeys?

Can you help me figure out how to make keyboard shortcuts through AutoConfig? Ideally for Linux and so that updates do not break my custom settings.

Can you get the following alert example working? I don't know how to install the files on Linux.

* autoconfig.js (in same folder with channel-prefs.js file)

Code: Select all

// autoconfig.js file needs to start with a comment line

pref("general.config.sandbox_enabled", false);
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);

* mozilla.cfg (in same folder with platform.ini file)

Code: Select all

// mozilla.cfg file needs to start with a comment line

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm");

Services.obs.addObserver(function (aSubject, aTopic, aData) {
  var chromeWindow = aSubject;
  chromeWindow.setTimeout(function () {
    try {
      Services.console.logStringMessage("test mozilla.cfg");
      Services.prompt.alert(chromeWindow, "example", "test mozilla.cfg");
    } catch (e) {
      Components.utils.reportError(e);
    };
  }, 3000);
}, "browser-delayed-startup-finished", false);

The following code snippet works for me using the browser console.

Code: Select all

(function () {

  var keyset = document.getElementById("mainKeyset");

  var key = document.createXULElement("key");
  key.setAttribute("id", "gregzilla_key_prevTab");
  key.setAttribute("keycode", "VK_F1");
  key.setAttribute("oncommand", "gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1, true);");
  keyset.appendChild(key);

  var key = document.createXULElement("key");
  key.setAttribute("id", "gregzilla_key_nextTab");
  key.setAttribute("keycode", "VK_F2");
  key.setAttribute("oncommand", "gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1, true);");
  keyset.appendChild(key);

  var key = document.createXULElement("key");
  key.setAttribute("id", "gregzilla_key_newNavigatorTabNoEvent");
  key.setAttribute("keycode", "VK_F4");
  key.setAttribute("oncommand", "BrowserOpenTab();");
  keyset.appendChild(key);

  var key = document.createXULElement("key");
  key.setAttribute("id", "gregzilla_key_close");
  key.setAttribute("key", "x");
  key.setAttribute("modifiers", "alt");
  key.setAttribute("oncommand", "BrowserCloseTabOrWindow(event);");
  keyset.appendChild(key);

})();
