Features

Keyboard Shortcut for Tab Duplication (KSFTD) adds a keyboard shortcut, Alt+/, that allows tab duplication through a means other than Ctrl‐clicking or middle‐clicking the “Reload current page” button while maintaining the same duplication behavior. For example, KSFTD‐based tab duplication preserves the document scroll position and contents of text fields.

By default, a notification is briefly displayed when a tab is duplicated to indicate that tab duplication occurred as a result of the extension’s keyboard shortcut.

Notification display, notification icon display, and notification duration can be configured via the extension’s options page.

(Note: Due to a bug, notification options are ignored in version 3.0.1. They work in version 3.1.0 which was submitted for addons.mozilla.org review on 2017 August 7.)

Options utilize sync storage (as opposed to local storage) and will therefore synchronize across Mozilla Firefox installations for users using Firefox Sync with appropriate Sync preferences enabled.

KSFTD is localized in English, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese. Localization can be changed by installing locale‐specific versions of Mozilla Firefox and defaults to English if no localization is available for a locale.

Sorry. Doesn't work.

I Used Tab Mix Plus before, where I could configure a shortcut for Clone Tab too. I got so used to it. I was so annoyed to right click a tab and click. Now there is a solution! Thank you. The only problem is the shortcut. Alt + / is hard to reach on a german keyboard. Actually I have to use Alt + Shift + 7 to clone a tab. Could you please make the shortcut configurable? From Tab Mix Plus I am used to Ctrl + Alt + T. Yes, you are right that is similar to Alt + Shift + 7 :-). I just have to get used to it.

Great idea and super helpful, though I only wish he selected something more consistent with already existing tab shortcuts. Ctrl-T opens a new tab, Shift-Ctrl-T undoes tab close, it would have been neat to have something like Alt-T for duplication. OCD nitpicking aside, it's still great a add-on. Thanks so much!
