Great extension. I have been missing CloneWindow extension https://www.bigdropinc.com/resources/mozilla/. Would love to have the option in your DuplicateTab to use the default key action (CTRL-N, CTRL-T) to duplicate current tab into new tab or open new window with current tab.

I know you are not supposed to be able to remap the default FF keys in FF 60+ but Cadeyrn https://github.com/cadeyrn/newtaboverride was able to do it by hooking into builtin new tab routine.

This would make the extension much more flexible and conducive to my browsing habits.

Sorry I don't understand why you say you have been missing CloneWindow. It looks like you can still install it from the URL to me?

I believe the extension in your second link changes the new tab page for all ways in which it is accessed (and hence CTRL+N and CTRL+T would have a different effect). Without looking into the details closely I think that overriding this new tab page and offering the ability to duplicate the previous tab open into the modified new tab page would require requesting permissions for all tabs/websites which I have already discussed in a different issue.

I'm not sure I quite understand what your use case is. Do you just want to remap CTRL+N and CTRL+T to perform tab duplication in the way already offered by ALT+SHIFT+D?

CloneWindow is unsigned and the old type of XPI installer, so I can't get it to work or install even under about:debugging. I see from your link that you don't want to request permissions for anything more than active tab. And yes I would like toy get CTRL+N and CTRL+T to perform tab duplication in the way already offered by ALT+SHIFT+D, but vhanging to these keys in settings does not override the default behavior.

In that case you should be able to cheat and use a system wide keyboard automation tool like AutoHotKey or AutoKey which intercepts CTRL+T when you press it with Firefox open and sends ALT+SHIFT+D instead.

Closing this since it's been years and I don't think there's ever going to be a way for an extension to override default shortcuts in Firefox, so third party applications will be needed to intercept and remap.
