Description

I've gone through the issues in this repo but yet to see anything about CTRL+SHIFT+L not working in Firefox Quantum in MacOS, especially 10.12+.

I tried this addon in chromium, and the shortcut works, meaning the OS isn't hogging the key. I have an Arch-based machine at home, and the shortcut works.

I went through the process mentioned in #185 of downloading the add-on, changing the manifest.json to another shortcut, but everytime I zip it and load it into Firefox, the browser says the entire folder is corrupted. Not sure what the problem is because I'm literally changing one letter in the json file.

Any help would be great. Thanks for this great tool.

Firefox 66.0 now allows custom keyboard shortcuts for various extensions. I was FINALLY able to change my version to ctrl+shift+L for browserpass, and it works.

What a great news! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I don't have a macOS to try, but I'm glad it's all solved now.
