Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 : feedback request

Unread post by Falna » 2021-04-11, 01:26

Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 is one of the extensions I forked recently (more in my sig box below). The Print Preview button works exactly as expected, however Franklin reported back that the keyboard shortcut isn't working on his keyboard, so I've been investigating further.

I've now tested it on a couple of different physical keyboards, with several keyboard layouts, and it am finding that the shortcut works as expected, but only in Basilisk.

In Pale Moon - only when using the keyboard shortcut - the preview is blank, as is any page printed from it. I get the same results using the original extension that I forked from (I've used the print preview button in Pale Moon for years, but not the shortcut, and of course did my pre-release testing in Basilisk!)

Can anyone confirm this behavior? Or suggest how it may be resolved?

Forked extensions :
● Add-ons Inspector ● Auto Text Link ● Copy As Plain Text ● Copy Hyperlink Text ● FireFTP button replacement ● gSearch Bar ● Navigation Bar Enhancer ● New Tab Links ● Number Tabs ● Print Preview Button and Keyboard Shortcut 2 ● Scrollbar Search Marker ● Simple Marker ● Tabs To Portfolio ● Update Alert ● Web Developer's Toolbox ● Zap Anything

I notice you aren't including any search terms for any of your extensions. You should do that else they won't show up when someone searches from the site or in the Add-ons Manager.

For ease of people finding this I've added appropriate search terms. Though OP is free to adjust as required (and please do add them for future submissions).

Thanks everyone! Looks like it's not a big issue then - perhaps time for me to create a new profile.

Gents,
Is there any chance of modifying this add-on to in include Print/Print Preview to the Pale Moon Context Menu?
As a long time user of Print/Print Preview 1.0.1 by Patrick H. Lauke, I would appreciate a version of this *very* useful Add-On.
Thanks
