Hi

I use Firefinder a lot for automating tests at my work. It's super useful for me so thanks a lot for your efforts.

The add-on is however overriding the default Firefox keyboard shortcut for pasting in plain text (Ctrl+Shift+V) and that has led me to give up on Firefinder a few times since I rely on this shortcut a lot.


I think it's bad practice for an add-on to override a browser default shortcut and wanted to ask you to change the shortcut to something else. Although I find your add-on very useful it's too much of an annoyance to sacrifice much used default shortcuts for it. 

Best regards,
Óli

Hi,

The issue with this is that Firefox also keeps on adding keyboard shortcuts, and, to my knowledge, it it didn't have that one for plain text when Firefinder was first built, hence using it.

I haven't updated Firefinder in a long time, but if I do it definitely sounds worth just removing this one in Firefinder not to compete with the shortcut in Firefox.
