Keyboard Shortcuts and Command Palette
Browsing with Just Your Keyboard
Floorp allows you to override existing keyboard shortcuts with your preferred actions or assign completely new ones.
Having to reach for the mouse while typing can disrupt your workflow, which many users find frustrating.
Imagine how seamless it would be to control every single browser action using only your keyboard. While Floorp hasn't reached that absolute pinnacle just yet, we are dedicated to helping you get as close to it as possible. Customizable keyboard shortcuts and the Command Palette are major steps toward that goal.
Customizing Keyboard Shortcuts
Configuring via Floorp Hub
Navigate to Floorp Hub > Keyboard Shortcuts (about:hub#/features/shortcuts) to view a comprehensive list of actions available for shortcut customization.
Find the action you want to modify, and click "Add" or "Edit" to open the shortcut configuration overlay.
You can build your custom shortcut combination by selecting the modifier keys using the buttons at the top and typing a character in the input field below.
Depending on your operating system and configuration, the modifier key labels may appear as generic terms.
-
Modifier keys on macOS
On macOS, the
Altkey corresponds to theOptionkey, and theMetakey corresponds to theCommandkey. -
Modifier keys on Windows
On Windows, the
Metakey corresponds to theWindowskey.
The vast majority of actions available for keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, and the command palette share the same underlying system.
This means that most actions you can assign to a keyboard shortcut can also be triggered via a mouse gesture or searched for in the command palette.
Configuring via Experimental Firefox Features
Firefox is currently testing its own native keyboard shortcut customization feature.
You can access this by navigating to about:keyboard, which displays a list of customizable actions. Click "Change" to type a new shortcut combination, or click "Clear" to reset it to its default state.
The about:keyboard page may conflict with Floorp's built-in keyboard shortcut system. If an action is available in both Floorp Hub and about:keyboard, we strongly recommend using only one of them to avoid unexpected behavior.
Using the Command Palette
To use the Command Palette, either keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures must be enabled.
When keyboard shortcuts are active, the Command Palette is assigned to the F2 key by default.
Simply type to search for an action, navigate through the results using the arrow keys or your mouse, and press Enter or Return to execute it. Depending on the specific action, you may occasionally be prompted for multiple sequential inputs.
