If you're into Vim, this is a fantastic extension for keybindings: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim...

I should be clear. What I was referring to when I said `keybindings` is browser/developer keybindings that are not yet made configurable.

There's been an open issue for 7 years asking for a shortcut key for the eyedropper[0]. The navigation between developer panels is also a bit tedious. The page focus key, F6, is not configurable.

These are some instances I was thinking when I said I wanted good keybinding support. I'll be really willing to try an extension that achieves these but it's really the browser's job.

With that said, I've tried a bunch of these extensions in the past! I'm not a vim guy so I settled with Link Hints[1] for in-page navigation. I cannot recommend it enough for non-vim guys. It's really underrated.

Thanks for the mention of F6, I had been looking for a page focus key for a while to restore focus after switching to the address bar.

I've discovered that "ctrl-f esc" also works; focus goes back to the page when the search bar closes. Convenient if you have capslock remapped to escape.

JFYI, Alt+D and Ctrl+L also work.

These only focus the address bar, no? I want the other way round. I want to focus the page when the focus is outside it, like the address bar.
