The MacBook Pros label these functions keys (Apple must be assuming that the Pro users are smarter, or something). Just as a side note, Macbooks don't label the 'Home', 'End', 'PageUp', and 'PageDown', keys, but expect you to know to use Fn + Left/Right/Up/Down Arrow instead. So the short answer is that I can't fix cmd+left/right arrow without digging deep into the guts of Firefox. Safari also does this while navigating, but correctly handles moving to the beginning or end of a line when in a text box using the standard cmd+arrow combos. I think the reason behind this bug is that the Firefox browser uses Cmd+left/right Arrow to go backward or forward in the browse history whenever you're not in a text box. (The "accel" modifier equals the "Command" key on a Mac Keyboard)

I'm convinced this is a bug in the Mac Firefox code because these shortcuts are already included in the platformHTMLBindings.xml file (the file modified by keyfixer to update the keyboard shortcuts): Ryan: If Firefox properly supported cmd+left/right arrow for moving to the beginning/end of a line, then this whole mess wouldn't has started. If you have any problems or questions with this version, please drop a comment and I'll see what I can do to help! I'm interested to know if anyone else has seen this issue, because it's a bug. However, this doesn't seem to work (at least when using gmail). This is more consistent with Firefox on Windows.Īs a side note, it looks like there was an intention in Firefox to follow standard Mac behavior by mapping Command-Left Arrow and Command-Right Arrow to move the cursor to the beginning and end of line, respectively.

This is useful when performing upgrades (Firefox won't upgrade if Keyfixer has been applied - you have to remove it first)

I wanted my Firefox back.Īfter digging into what Keyfixer does, I've put together an updated version 0.3 that should work for Firefox 2.0.0.14 and Firefox 3.0 beta 5 (tested on Mac OS X 10.5.2). I switched to Safari for a while, but Safari's other bugs and "features" started to annoy me. Unfortunately, this stopped working for me when I updated to Firefox 2.0.0.14. For Firefox 2, I solved this problem by running Keyfixer as published by Starry Hope. This strategy worked well, except for in Firefox, which doesn't respect the Mac DefaultKeyBinding.dict file.

Since I still use Windows a lot, I decided to instead reconfigure the Mac shortcuts to emulate Windows shortcuts. Ever since moving to a Macbook as my primary computer, I've been struggling with re-learning the Mac navigation key shortcuts. Since I'm a heavy gmail user, I make significant use of the editor window in my web browser.
