Keyboard Savior Xtreme Firefox

Keyboard Savior Xtreme

Stops sites from hijacking keyboard shortcuts, such as the slash key to search. Permits sites to intercept keystrokes in selected areas, such as textual inputs, and allows whitelisting domains.

Features & Capabilities

Stops keyboard shortcut hijacking by blocking sites from seeing keyboard events. Makes exceptions when focus is in certain editable areas that often require keyboard handlers for good behavior. These include:

  • Textual inputs
  • Rich-text editors
  • Media with custom controls
A full demo is available at https://keyboard-savior-xtreme.readthedocs.io/en/latest/what-it-blocks.html

Allows whitelisting a site — allowing it to see all keyboard events — either by clicking the toolbar icon or editing add-on preferences.

User Reviews

Perfect! I am not sure why the browser's shortcuts have less priority than the web page. This is how Firefox should work in first place. Thank you.

Still Gmail can't let me use Ctrl + K to search on Firefox, but I hope next update can fix this :)

I can scroll Twitter again! No configuration necessary unless you want to whitelist sites.

Is Keyboard Savior Xtreme Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Keyboard Savior Xtreme requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
