Conflict with native Firefox shortcut for taking screenshots

[FreeYourMinds]

Issue

Can not invoke the shortcut for Tabhunter on Windows

Reason

Ctrl-Shift-S is Firefox native shortcut for taking a screenshot on Windows -> Firefox Screenshots

Also, I cannot change TabHunters shortcut in the settings, but from my understanding this seem to be per design?

Steps To Reproduce

Try invoking TabHunters shortcut in Firefox on Windows

No, it's just that no one on the team has found time to work on this

[FreeYourMinds]

I see, so there is currently no way of invoking TabHunter on Windows per hotkey.

Wouldn't it be an option to just change the default key binding for now?

[ericpromislow]

Right now no one on the "team" has a Windows development machine. Only macOS and linux. But the source code is right here and anyone is welcome to contribute.

@ericpromislow as you wish PR #141

Note:

As I do not have a Ruby dev environment nor are there any instructions on how to set up a dev environment for windows, this is an untested change! I have only verified that the new shortcut is not taken by any others on windows per default. But as this is only a change in the manifest, I considered it an acceptable risk

You can change the shortcut in Extensions > Manage Extension Shortcuts to a different key.

Sadly you can not. That is part of the problem. Any Change is neither applied nor persisted.

Not sure what the issue is on your end, for me it works without a problem. Tried changing it to Ctrl+Shift+F and Ctrl+Shift+Space just to test and it opens with that hotkey.

Interesting, you were right, it is on my side. Using a fresh profile, this does work 👍
Nevertheless, I would still change the default shortcut to something that is not in conflict with a native Firefox one

Interestingly the current default keymapping under Windows 11, Ctrl-Shift-S conflicts with the Operating System screen snapshot tool ().

With both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome, the change in #141 does not work for me.

It took me a rather long time to locate the keyboard shortcut options to override this! For (possibly only my) reference:

• chrome://extensions/shortcuts
• edge://extensions/shortcuts -- Edge can use either link

Manage Extension area does NOT cover this.

Presumably the PR not working is a v3 manifest issue? I've not had time to dig any further into this.

Nothing's changed - no one on the team has a windows machine.
