Use backspace to go back in Firefox
Authored by: matsur on Jan 13, '05 04:09:34PM

Thanks for the tip. However, it doesn't seem like there is a way to remap forward and previous tab, which are by default Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab. I'd like to change these into the Safari and Adium equivilant, Cmd-Shift-Left and Cmd-Shift-Right. Has anyone figured out how to do this?

you could also hold down the apple key and use the left and right arrows to do the same.

You can change your next/previous tab shortcuts by adding these lines to your prefs.js file (in your Profile folder):
user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Next Tab", "alt meta][][VK_RIGHT][gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(1);"); user_pref("keyconfig.main.xxx_key__Previous Tab", "alt meta][][VK_LEFT][gBrowser.mTabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(-1);");
Change "alt meta" to "alt shift" to emulate Safari shortcuts. Personally, I prefer cmd-option-left and right (doesn't override the "select to front/back of line" shortcut in text fields).
