Easy Container shortcuts

Firefox 57+ extension that provides nine easy keyboard shortcuts to open new tabs on different containers.

Usage

New Tab on Current Container

Use Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + T to open a new tab in the current window, using the current container.

New Tab on Specified Container

By default the extension registers the following shortcuts: Ctrl + Shift + #, where # stands for numbers between 1 and 9. To open a new tab without a container simply use the default Firefox shortcut for that (Ctrl + T).

Note for Mac/OS X users: use ⌥ + ⇧ + #.

Current Tab on Specified Container

Use Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + # to reopen the current tab in the specified container, where # stands for numbers between 1 and 9. This closes the current tab and replaces its position with a new tab at the same URL in the specified container.

When one of those shortcuts is pressed, a new tab will be opened using the container whose number is represented by the shortcut, following the order displayed in Firefox's "containers" menu E.g. Ctrl + Shift + 1 will open the first container in that list.

For this to work, the privacy.userContext.enabled preference (the "Enable Container Tabs" checkbox in the Firefox Preferences UI) must be ENABLED in Firefox. If that preference is DISABLED then the extension will only log an error.

Reopen Current Tab in Default Container

To re-open the current tab on the default container use Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + Alt + #. Special thanks to @zanona.

New Window on Current Container

Use Alt (Ctrl on Mac) + Shift + T to open a new window using the current container.

New Window on Specified Container

By default the extension registers the following shortcuts: Alt (Ctrl on Mac) + Shift + #, where # stands for numbers between 1 and 9. To open a new window without a container simply use the default Firefox shortcut for that (Ctrl + N).

Custom Shortcuts

You can map any of the commands in this extension into other key combinations supported by Firefox - watch this screencast to see how.
