[Bug] Shift + Opt + Right/Left Arrow override?

[piroor]

Sorry I didn't know "Alt" has different function on macOS. I've pushed a change to reassign default shortcuts as "MacCtrl+Shift+Up/Down/Left/Right".

And you can unassign those shortcuts with the addons manager:

Thanks, that also fixed it for me. Was quite confused, because such a keystroke in a text area (like here on github) suddenly jumped to a different tab 💥

This seems to have been introduced with 4.0.16 (2024.6.9):

Add new keyboard shortcut slots "Simulate Up/Down/Left/Right Key on Tree" and assign default shortcuts Alt-Shift-Up/Down/Left/Right. They provide both spatial focus move on faviconized tabs and collapse/expand tree like arrow keys on tree items.

Similar issue to #1995.

A new version TST 4.0.18 containing fix for this is already uploaded to the addons website but not published yet because it is still in reviewed...

@piroor This fixed it for me, thanks a lot.

For reference: I landed here from https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/option-shift-arrow-now-switches-tabs-since-v-127/m-p/59302 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1901978

Got here from the firefox subreddit, and @piroor's solution fixed it. Thanks!

This was so irritating I almost ditched Firefox for Brave... luckily someone on the Mozilla forum pointed me here.
Please don't do this again 😄

Indeed very irritating. Glad it's solved & found this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1449863 which led me here.

All good now

Btw you mention you pushed it.. but does that mean it also reached prod? ie: I used Tamper Monkey to install Tree Style Tabs extension and usually whenever I open up firefox - if there is any update, then Tamper Monkey asks me if I want to install it (in case I have not configured that specific script to be auto-updated)... and saw no no update for the Tree Style Tabs today when I opened my browser.
