My suggestion/request is a fully functional keyboard shortcut editor that allows you to change or remove all (or at least most) keyboard shortcuts in Pale Moon and maybe even add new ones.
Why do I think it is important?
People have a different browsing behavior and use different functions. So existing shortcuts are of more or less use depending on how you use your browser, what is handy for some is useless and maybe even confusing or in worst case breaking functionality for others. Let me give a few examples (some of these are taken from requests I found on Addons Mozilla).
Look at the F keys, personally, I use three of them (F4, F5 and sometimes F11) that is comparably lousy cause there are 12 of them. Now take F7, F7 is mapped to Caret Browsing, since I accidentally hit F7 a few days ago (still on Firefox) I didn't even know about Caret Browsing and after trying it I found out that I will never ever use that. So for me it is a wasted shortcut. Anyway, F7 is a great shortcut cause it simple and easy to remember, it doesn't even have a modifier key, so mapping it to an unused function is really a loss. For others Caret Browsing might be cool and F7 of value. Didn't also know what F6, F8, F9 and so on do, looked it up here

some do nothing.
On the other hand there is the Statusbar that has the shortcut CTRL+/ to pop in and out that is not too bad as long as you have a keyboard that has a / key. On my netbook for example the shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+7 that is pretty complex (= hard to reach all keys with one hand) for the shortcut of such a for me important function, sure you get used to it but it is not as simple as it could be, right? The elegant way would be to map it to F7 which is in my case unused. Others won't even need a shortcut to pop the Statusbar in and out.
Another example is the Quick Find function that is mapped to / (SHIFT+7 for me), pretty essential functions for some, it could also be mapped to the in my case still available 8 F keys. On the other hand / wont and should not work in text boxes (for obvious reasons) while an F key could work in a text box without causing any problems (and yes, the Quick Find works in a text box too, you just can't enable it with that shortcut, you still can use CTRL+F for the full Find function which does basically the same). There are more such conflicts, CTRL+B that is for the Bookmarks Sidebar but also for bold text in many text boxes and they conflict in some cases, same with CTRL+I that pops up Page info and is used for italic text.
Then other functions have multiple shortcuts that is cool cause you can use the one you like the most but also that might not be ideal. Closing a tab is on CTRL+F4 and CTRL+W (and there are still other possibilities like the close tab button or with some plugins a double click on the tab). How many of these does one person use? I would say at most two, usually one uses less cause in general you always do the same. On the other hand CTRL+W is on the keyboard just one key away from SHIFT+W which is just a capital w in a text box so by accidentally hitting SHIFT instead of CTRL I might for example loose this post cause this website doesn't have an autosave function. So simply disabling CTRL+W would be of value for some in particular for those who do not use it at all to close tabs.
Are there any addons that do the job?
Well yes, in a way but none of them is ideal (most of them are in fact far from ideal). There is, for example, Customizable Shortcuts
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... shortcuts/
which is sorta recommended by Mozilla (earlier versions
Why do I think it should be part of the browser core?
This is just wild guessing cause I have no idea, maybe it could be done with an addon like PM Commander as well. I think adding it as a core feature would be the best way to avoid conflicts. The more addons you add and the more shortcuts they add or modify the more complex things get.
Also I think that many people would use it if they had it (and know about it). Many people just don't know something like this is possible and thus don't even think about it but I think if you give them the possibility to do that they will use, maybe just one shortcut they wholeheartedly hate, maybe 10, maybe all. I read requests where people asked about disabling all keyboard shortcuts (one guy was physically handicapped and afraid that he would accidentally hit the wrong shortcuts while typing). I believe that shortcuts should be where they fit into the users workflow and not where developers think they should be just like menus (has a pretty good addon) and toolbar icons (already supported by Pale Moon).
I remember Opera (when I used it for a while some years ago) did it pretty well, also XnViewMP does it really well and I find myself pretty often looking for that in programs knowing that it exists in others and when it is there I use it but maybe I am not an average user, don't know.

I know or can at least imagine that this wont be a small/simple task and I wont expect it to happen within the near future. Don't even know if it is possible at all. Anyway, it is something that I would have expected Mozilla would have done with Firefox cause it increases compatibility with different keyboard layouts, increases usability and adds functionality and possibilities for people instead of removing them (what they did with the new interface).
Sorry for this rather long text (I actually hate long posts), hope it is not too confusing and I got my point clear (not native English speaker). Thanks for your attention and maybe you might consider it at least at some point in the future. I will surely survive a second decade without it.
