Hi I use firefox on Linux and want to change to the first, second, third, ..., last tab with ctrl+1/2/3/.../9 instead of alt+1/2/3/.../9 because alt is already mapped to changing desktops. any idea how I could accompilish this?

edit1: I use mac and windows at work and there the shortcuts are ctrl+<number>. It would be so nice to have consistent shortcuts 🐧

[SOLUTION] install ctrl+number extension recommended by @TobuscusLover2001@lemmy.zip

This is really weird. I'll have to check on a different distro. I'm currently on fedora and firefox was already installed.

  1. ctrl+T/C/V (new tab, copy, paste) work as expected and all other shortcuts including ctrl and alt work as well
  2. I've installed a keyd for switching alt+mod otherwise it's a pretty fresh install
  3. I started firefox in --safe-mode and got the same behavior. But thanks helping me trouble shoot.
