Clippings, switching between shortcut and clipping search shortcut

[Pavel Dossev]

Hello, 

I somehow switched my Clippings to a search as on the screenshot below:

The TAB shortcut shown there is not switching back to the shortcuts i.e. ALT+CTRL+Y---> +1 for example. 

I am not able to find information how to switch back to the previous interface.

Thank you!

The Tab key should switch between the "search by name" mode (which is shown in the screen shot) and the shortcut key mode (where you press a letter or number to paste the clipping).

If this isn't working for you, please do the following:

1. Invoke the Clippings keyboard paste dialog (default keys ALT+CTRL+Y)

2. Right-click on the dialog and select Inspect Element from the context menu. This will open the Developer Tools

3. Click on the Console tab

4. With the Developer Tools open, go back to the keyboard paste dialog and try pressing the TAB key

5. Check the Console tab in the Developer Tools window for any errors/messages that may appear.  Copy it and paste them here so that I can review it.

Also, please provide the version of Clippings you are using, as well as Firefox version.

Thank you. 

The Clippings version is 6.1.5

Firefox - 62.0.3 64 bit

There is nothing in the console in Firefox when I am pressing the button, nothing in the other tabs as well and all requests are 200 OK and I also tried reloading the cache. 

I also tried with the command key and CTRL, SHIFT etc. 

OS: MAC OS 10.11.6 El Capitan

I have no problem in reinstalling it if I have to and I if I can re-import the clippings. Or if you can tell me in which file that option is stored if I can manually change it.

The latest version of Firefox is 69.0.1 -- consider upgrading. The other option, if you must stay on Firefox 62, is to downgrade Clippings to version 6.1.2.

There was a bug fix for Firefox 65 to address an issue where keyboard presses stopped working in Clippings windows and dialogs; see the version history for details[1]. It is likely that this bug fix is incompatible with older versions of Firefox.

Thank you!

I can do both of them but I will keep it for now as I kind got used to it by now :) and upgrading might brake the other modules I am using in Firefox.
