Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar? - eviltoast

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox’s Sidebar?

I use the Add-On “Bookmark search plus 2” which is really awesome. When I activate it’s Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven’t found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!

    @Cr8zy_Ivan@fedia.io No, unfortunately - see & vote for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502713. (I use BSP2, too.)

    I doubt any extension could do it either (new WebExtension API deems such behavior/functionality insecure/too privileged).

    I hope it could be customizable by “user.js” or a similar javascript file put in your Firefox profile. If anyone finds anything, report here, please.

    Partial alternative: Right click at BSP2 icon > “Open BSP2 in a Tab”. Potentially pin the tab. Then Ctrl+TAB to switch back and forth. For other extensions, figure out “moz-extension://…” URL to their files shown in the sidebar. It may not work exactly well/same as in a sidebar (or it may work better).
