create shortcut to a tab
Is it possible for the user to do this, or is this something the developer has had to code?
The add-on Close All Tabs would be even better, for me, if this were possible.
Thank you
FF 42.0

Re: create shortcut to a tab
What exactly do you mean by "shortcut to a tab"?
"Close all tabs" is the same as Quit (Alt+F4)

Alt+F4 closes FF. What I am after is a keyboard shortcut to access the Close All Tab add-on rather than clicking on the toolbar button with mouse.HansV wrote:What exactly do you mean by "shortcut to a tab"?

Re: create shortcut to a tab
I found a suggestion that it's possible to use the Key config extension to assign a keyboard shortcut to the command
gBrowser.removeAllTabsBut(TabContextMenu.contextTab);
This command should close all tabs except the active one - see Is there a shortcut key for "close all tabs in the right" and "close other tabs" actions? Thank you. I haven't tested it myself.

Thank you for your research, Hans. Unfortunately, the suggestions in the posts did not accomplish what I wanted.

Re: create shortcut to a tab
I'm afraid I don't know how to accomplish what you want. Perhaps someone else will have a better suggestion.

Re: create shortcut to a tab
Curious, I must comment that you are very vague with your information. Even the comment in your last post, that reads: "Unfortunately, the suggestions in the posts did not accomplish what I wanted." does not give much to go on! If you want further assistance, give us something more to work with by describing your needs and for what purpose you want it.
To add to the replies Hans gave, perhaps this is something you could use?

Re: create shortcut to a tab
My interpretation is that curious already has such an add-on, for example Close All Tabs (Reloaded) or one of the others mentioned in this thread, but that she wants a keyboard shortcut to invoke the add-on.

Yes, Hans, that is what I had hoped for.
Rudi, neither shortcut re Close Other Tabs Shortcuts worked-meaning nothng happened when those keys were pressed. Thanks, though, for your time.

Re: create shortcut to a tab
Do either of these get you any closer to what you want?
Close Tab # :: Add-ons for Firefox
"Close any tabs numbered 1-8 with the keyboard shortcut ctrl+shift+{number}."
or
Close other tabs :: Add-ons for Firefox
- Ctrl+Shift+F3 closes all tabs on the left of the active one
- Ctrl+Shift+F4 closes all tabs except the active one
- Ctrl+Shift+F5 closes all tabs on the right of the active one
- Ctrl+Shift+F6 closes all tabs with the same domain as the active one
- Ctrl+Alt+F4 closes all windows except the active one

Re: create shortcut to a tab
Thank you, Leif.
I had tried Close Other Tabs a while ago and for some reason the keyboard combinations didn't work for me. I tried FF in Safe Mode, and still not working.
Close Tab # was, for me, too cumbersome. Takes more fingering than clicking on the Close All Tabs button in toolbar.
Again, thank you all for your efforts.

Mind-blowing...you MUST be Sherlock in disguise; your deductive skills are unsettling, curiously uncanny! Does that not make you worried, Hans?curious wrote:Yes, Hans, that is what I had hoped for.
