keyboard shortcuts that are deleted reappear (and are in conflict)

See original GitHub issue

Steps

  1. With Firefox 88, enable Swift Selection Search 3.47.3 and Tab Manager Plus for Firefox 5.2.0
  2. observe the conflicting shortcut
  3. delete the two shortcuts for Swift Selection Search
  4. quit
  5. start Firefox

Expected

  1. no conflict

Actual result

  1. conflict; reappearance of the two shortcuts that were deleted.

This is a major issue only in that Swift Selection Search must be disabled to prevent repetitive shortcut conflicts.

For me personally, not a major issue; I can live without the extension.

Hey! I’ve updated SSS to version 3.48.0 (actually a few days ago). The shortcut options now direct you to use Firefox’s menu to change shortcuts, which is the new way since Firefox 66 (aaaaages ago) 😃

Now, when SSS loads, it won’t override the shortcuts that you had set in that menu. SSS won’t change shortcuts anymore, just respond to them. As a consequence, resetting settings and loading backups also won’t touch the shortcuts (which is probably for the best).

Follow up from the previous post:

  • I bumped the minimum Firefox version to 66 from 63. Essentially, looking at the extremely tiny version usage stats I concluded it was not worth it to support versions 63 to 65.

Delete the shortcut settings from the saved data on read (they’re not needed anymore).

  • This was not done in the end, just in case the option needs to be reverted for some reason.

Add info to the “Reset options” button saying it doesn’t affect the shortcuts.

  • Also felt unnecessary since they are no longer “options” in any case.

Cheers!
