- Rated 5 out of 5by Patrice, 6 years agoThis extension seems work only on Windows, and not in Linux by the key combinaison ALT + P. Please, can you correct the extension, and I change my note.
//EDIT : it works now!Developer response
posted 6 years agoHello
In fact, I test on Linux first, it being my primary OS.
Please check one usecase: are you using 'Alt Gr' key (which often replaces the right Alt key on laptops) instead of Alt key? AltGr is not mapped to Alt in some Linux distributions.
Otherwise, can you provide more details? - Rated 5 out of 5by Michael Woffenden, 7 years agoVery nice, so easy to pin and unpin using the toolbar button!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Victor Onrust, 7 years agoWould like if there was a possibility to protect the tab!

posted 7 years agoI agree. I have opened a related bug on the github repo and hope to resolve it soon.
update: Please try out the updated version 3.3 and let me know if the issue still persists. - Rated 5 out of 5by partycola, 7 years agoNow with the long left mouse click option, it's much easier to use =) Great add on

You may want to check out the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to pin or unpin the tab.- Rated 5 out of 5by yadis7, 7 years ago

posted 7 years agoAs confirmed by Mozilla developers, the webextensions technology have limited features to ensure security of the browser. So, they will not implement the API required for 'double-click on tab' feature. Look here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1246706) and here(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?format=default&id=1356949) for more details.
So, unfortunately, you should stop waiting for that feature. Meanwhile, may be the latest approach in v3.0 - long left click anywhere on the webpage to toggle - may suffice (or hopefully exceed) your needs.Developer response

While the developer is working on adding the ability to customize the keyboard shortcut, AutoHotkey (for Windows only, or other Mac alternatives) can help with that, by making it possible to use another key combination but send Alt+P in Firefox.
By creating a more complex script, I found out that I can use AutoHotkey for a double click on a tab to send Alt+P and pin it, which takes this to another level not currently allowed for web extensions (they can't read clicks on tabs anymore).Developer response
posted 7 years agoI will add the customizable shortcut in the next update.

Also, you may check out the screenshots I have added, that demonstrates some locations to place the add-on icon, for quick and efficient access.
