Restore <c-w> to delete a word in Firefox, with solutation to Tridactyl
Raw
restore_c_w_for_Firefox.ahk
; Since Github refuse to render anything in the old Firefox 55, I need to switch to Tridactyl with the newer Firefox.
; Yet, the <c-w> is missing from Tridactyl, and it is impossible to implemnet an Insert mode there
; This maps <c-w> to delete the word, and <alt + q> to take out (close) a tab.
; Lastly, <Alt + Shift + Q> will close the entire window. It is impractical to kill all existing process as done on Mac.
