As the title suggests. This will make Orion more friendly to power users or developers and is widely available in many browsers. It should allow users to configure both browser specific functions (e.g. tab navigation/management) as well as functions available in extensions.

    Yijia AS a native app, you can already remap Orion shortcuts using macOS system Keyboard settings. Is that not an option and what in particular are you looking to remap?

        Vlad While you can remap most keyboard shortcuts, it is sometimes slightly annoying to do so, but I still prefer using macOS system keyboard settings.
        But the thing is that certain commands are not configurable per se such as control+tab, and it's shift counterpart, command+n, and a few other obscure shortcuts.

            Fortrikka Only because they do not have a menu item. So if you list them, we can add them to the menus.

                Not really anything that should be added to the menus, as those should be hardlocked shortcuts. Just stating them as an obscure example

                • Vlad replied to this.

                  Fortrikka They are not hardlocked. If they existed in a menu, they would be remappable through macOS keyboard settings.

                      Vlad Command+n such as command+1, 2, 3.. etc. and command+tab/command+shift+tab seem to be hardlocked in all macos native applications.

                          Fortrikka How would you imagine UI for this feature inside Orion and how would it work in combination with the OS feature that does the same thing?

                              Something like this would be nice because every few updates, it seems that the shortcuts for certain functions get mixed all over the place with new features being added competing for shortcut dominance.
                              But at the same time, this is redundant and complex. And Orion is a web browser and not some programmer tool that requires thinking to reconfigure, as that would mean you should use advanced Firefox and configure it instead.

                                  Provide a tab within preferences detailing currently mapped shortcuts within Orion. This will benefit power users. This tab can be used to customize keyboard shortcuts. Assignments here can be linked to the ones in macOS System settings. AFAIK, no browser has implemented this, Brave have a keyboard shortcut page but its only for extensions not for the entire browser. I'm suggesting on for the browser as a whole.

                                    I would suggest only for extension shortcuts. There are separate applications although for viewing native shortcuts, although I am thorn on whether Orion should implement it's own keyboard shortcut list perhaps in the help menu instead.
                                    I would veto for a help menu keyboard shortcuts list instead.

                                      Vlad Video and audio editing softwares have implemented this via the screenshots below; so i'm thinking a UI like this for a start.

                                      At the moment, to see keyboard shortcuts for any program, I use a nifty app called Cheat Sheet that activates by holding down CMD for 3secs, interestingly this doesn't work for Orion, infact the browser freezes for a min (beachball)
