Can Firefox Quick Find "shift"-hotkey be removed?
Curt:
I am getting really tired with Firefox's Quick Find being activated whenever I use the Shift button. Why did Mozilla even give this feature a hotkey? Quick Find will be working once the user starts typing (anywhere outside a writer's area), so it doesn't need any hotkey at all!
:mad:
Please tell me how to remove this hotkey from Firefox/Waterfox Quick Find, if possible.
:tellme:
Edit
: Due to confusing I must clarify that I mean, "Shift+whatever".

What are you talking about???? Been using FF for 6+ years now, and not once has Shift ever lead me into any find-mode? Does some plug-in you're using add this feature?
Curt:
ehh... I should of course had said something like "Shift+whatever".

Oh, that's the default Quick-find feature I've come to love and like over the years :up: and isn't liminted to Shift+something, even just typing "something" does that quick-find thing :)
It can easily be disabled from the Extra/Options/Advanced/General settings page, second checkbox (dunno what your translation is, smt like "search for text when starting to type" (roughly translated from my localized FF :-[)

I like the Quick Find feature. I hate the Shift+something hotkey. In the settings I can only disable the feature, not just the hotkey.
