Change keyboard shortcuts in Firefox

Hi all,

It seems the latest version of Firefox (3.6) has added a new keyboard shortcut (Shift + Cmd/Ctr + F) to go into fullscreen mode. The problem is that the Web Developer plugin uses this as well for when you want to display element information.

I'd rather not rewire my brain, and I never use fullscreen mode, so I'm wondering if there's a way I can modify Firefox to give up the Shift+Cmd/Ctr+F shortcut, so I can keep using it for Web Developer?

I didn't even know that Web Developer did that...

Anyway, go to about:config and filter for shortcut - is it there? It's not on mine but Ctrl + Shift + F does a Web Developer thing - full screen mode is still bound to F11.

Just had a second look and anything of note with "shortcut" in it is Firebug related so it won't be there, can't find it when filtering by other things either.

Thanks - but that's for Mozilla. I followed some of the directions & didn't see a directory structure as demonstrated. If I have to create new files & mess around with the internals of Firefox, I'd rather not.

Well, Fx support pages tell this:
Configuring keyboard shortcuts
Firefox does not provide any method of customizing keyboard shortcuts.
