Adblock Plus, Blogger and Ctrl-Shift-A

Post by hughhyatt »

When posting on Blogger, Ctrl-Shift-A adds a link to highlighted text. With Adblock Plus installed, after I complete the Blogger link insertion dialog, up pops the dialog box to change Adblock Plus preferences. It's a minor annoyance since hitting Esc closes the dialog, but I'm particularly curious since there's not the same kind of interplay between the other shortcuts Blogger and Firefox have in common. For example, Ctrl-D (Save as draft in Blogger, Bookmark this page in Firefox), Ctrl-I (Italics in Blogger, Page info in Firefox) and Ctrl-B (Bold in Blogger Display bookmarks in Firefox).

I see the same thing under both Windows XP (away from which I'm migrating) and Ubuntu Linux (towards which I'm migrating). Firefix is version 2.0.0.6 and Adblock Plus is version 0.7.5.1.

Is there an easy way to fix this behavior?

Yes, you can change the keyboard shorcuts for ABP Preferences and Blockable items windows using Firefox preferences (about:config) as described here (look for sidebar key and settings key preferences).
