Disable ctrl-b keyboard shortcut in Firefox?


As a tmux user, there is a lot of Ctrl+b going on. Also a lot of Firefox.

It's safe to say I never, ever want to see the book mark vertical bar. No interest. Never had any in 20 years of computer use.

Is there any way to disable Ctrl+b in Firefox without using a plug-in?


Solution

  • I've been able to disable the Ctrl+B shortcut by using the Shortkeys extension.

    Its configuration can be a little cumbersome, so here's a quick guide:

    Note: This only works in the context of a web page. The default Firefox action will still execute if you press Ctrl+B while the cursor is e.g. in the URL bar or the search bar. But for me it's a great improvement already!
