Change keyboard shortcuts in Firefox

+3
−0

Where do I go to change keyboard shortcuts in Firefox? I've been in the settings section and used their setting search, both for "keyb" and for "shortc" and nothing likely-looking comes up.

Is there even an option to do this?

Debian Bookworm / KDE Plasma on a repurposed Macbook Pro. I have another Macbook with MacOS on it, and I'm trying to unify the Cut/Copy/Paste keys to use Meta instead of Control. Plasma has system settings that have changed the scheme for KDE-provided apps, but others (and FF is where I notice it the most) do not respond to the global settings.

Even better would be to also remap (eg) Ctrl+Leftclick on links to Meta+Leftclick, but I'll settle for the edit stuff for now.

Please include which OS you are using and which shortcuts you'd like to change. On mac, one can use the karabiner elements app to remap some of the firefox shortcuts.

For other OS, there are addons like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/shortkeys which allow to remap some shortcuts.

Debian / KDE Plasma. I've done a global remap in system settings for Cut/Copy/Paste/Select-all to Meta+whatever instead of Ctrl+whatever, but there are applications (like FF) in which it doesn't work.

Thanks for the update! Much clearer question now!
