Mouse Gestures - Using my own keyboard shortcut (Javascript)

martynonline · Post by **martynonline** » March 16th, 2007, 10:10 am

Hi all,
I use Mouse Gestures extension and would very much like to be able to close tabs but in such a way that when the last tab is closed the entire browser closes. The only way I can think of doing this is by mapping a keyboard shortcut in Mouse Gestures to 'ctrl+w'. Only problem is I don't know how to do this using Javascript.

Can anyone help?

Thank you in advance oh internet community you!

Try using this Javascript with a gesture:

Code: Select all

if (gBrowser.mTabs.length == 1) { 
  goQuitApplication(); 
} 

else {  
  BrowserCloseTabOrWindow();
}

Sorry, I misread your post. You want a keyboard shortcut to do that. I'm not sure how one would do that with Mouse Gestures.

You can install the userChrome.js extension:

Restart Firefox

Add the following to userChrome.js in your profile:

Code: Select all

(function() {

var cW = document.getElementById('cmd_close');

cW.setAttribute('oncommand', 'if (gBrowser.mTabs.length == 1) { goQuitApplication(); } else {  BrowserCloseTabOrWindow();}');

})();

That will allow you to use Ctrl-w to close tabs and then the application if only one tab is open.

I use mouse gestures all the time but I'd like to change a setting.
The default behaviour of mgB_OpenBlankOrLinkTab is open link in new tab, if no link is present it will open a new blank tab.

I always end up opening a new blank tab by mistake so I need a custom javascript gesture to just open a link in new tab, without opening a blank tab if no link is present.

Can somebody help me?

Hi. I am trying to use mouse gestures to assign a keyboard short cut to button 3 on my mouse. I can't figure out the js for the gesture. Any help? The shortcut key is "Alt+`" Thanks!
