Firefox 2.0 Keyboard Shortcuts with Tasks Pro
Just a quick note about some undocumented functionality in Tasks Pro, Alex King's Task Management software.
I love working directly with the keyboard, and Tasks Pro does include keyboard shortcuts to accomplish a number of tasks. However, Firefox 2.0 (for reasons unknown), doesn't like the standard Ctrl+ or Alt+ keyboard accelerators. Instead, it requires holding Shift+Alt+{accesskey} to activate the shortcut.
I've verified that this is the case in Firefox 2 on both Windows XP and Ubuntu Feisty Fawn.
UPDATE
You can change this Shift+Alt behavior back to the Alt+ behaviour by modifying a hidden Firefox setting.
- In your browser's location bar, type
about:configand press the enter key. - In the Filter bar, start typing
ui.key.generalAccessKey. - When you see the option in the list, double click the line and change the value from -1 (default) to 18.
- Hit the OK button, and access keys will be available via the Alt+ short cut instead of Shift+Alt.
To access your Firefox menu bar (ie. Tools Menu), you must now use Shift+Alt instead of Alt. The accelerators are switched. To change the acclerator keys back, repeat the steps above and change the value from 18 to -1.
