Custom Reader View shortcut

Set a custom shortcut that triggers the Reader View

Features & Capabilities

This extension unlocks the ability to edit the shortcut that triggers the Reader View. The default shortcuts (CTRL+ALT+R/F9) will remain available. When the addon is installed, a new shortcut is added: ALT+A.

How to change the shortcut: If you want to change it, these are the steps:

  1. Open about:addons (paste it in the address bar). It'll open the Firefox's settings page, specifically in the Extensions page
  2. Click on the little gear on the top-right and select Manage Extension Shortcuts. It'll open a page listing all the extensions that have defined at least one custom shortcut
  3. Look for the Custom shortcut for Reader View and edit the default shortcut ALT+A with your preferred one

How it works: An extension, in the file that describes the overall extension (manifest.json), can declare multiple custom shortcuts. Then, they'll be read by Firefox and freely edited in the page opened previously. In the extension I added a simple function (triggerReaderView) that triggers the reader view when the custom shortcut is pressed.

How to get the source code: You can right-click on the button used to install the extension, and click on Save link as.... It'll save a .xpi file that, after extracting it, will give you access to the source code.
