I’m recently trying Firefox and it has fucking awful hot keys.
Chrome and Safari have solid hot keys for switching tabs, and Firefox expects you to use ctrl+page up, as if page up is anywhere near home row on any keyboard.
I had this moment of confusion like “What do you mean? Page Up is right there on the mouse,” before I remembered that most people probably aren’t using MMO mice for browsing. Which I can’t personally understand because now that I’ve had this many buttons I could never give them up. Y’all should try it.
e: And they don’t let you set your own keybinds in the browser? That’s embarrassing.
wtf… defaults on both chrome and firefox are the same… ctrl+tab (ctr+shift+tab) or ctrl+pgup (ctrl+pgdn). Single handed shortcuts, options on both ends of the keyboard for either hand use.
It seems that “standard behavior” means whatever weird shit you want it to be or are used to, not the actual defaults. Most users are already very used to swapping applications with alt+tab, so ctrl+tab moving through tabs inside a program makes a TON of sense…

Ctrl-tab works fine
That’s still less ergonomic than cmd+{/}
You can’t customize Firefox hot keys and that doesn’t match other browsers.
This technically works but isn’t consistent with most other standard behavior.
It doesn’t? I remember doing it on Chrome and it’s analogous to alt-tab.

Not from what I’ve seen, there’s just browser extensions for that.
And I don’t trust random browser extensions.

So I guess this is the case on Linux, I’m just not used to the Linux shortcuts I guess.
Anyway, I’m wrong, but also annoyed you can’t change this.
