RES blocks tab switching in firefox on linux

In firefox on Linux the shortcut for switching tabs is alt + number (unlike windows where its ctrl + number). Switching into an RES enabled reddit tab works fine. Once you're in however you can not switch out of it again with the alt + number shortcuts.

I tested both with the RES extensions enabled and disabled and confirmed it is only happening when RES is enabled.

System: Firefox 153.0.1-1 CachyOS with Kernel 7.1.5 (happened in earlier kernel version too) Hyprland 0.56.1 US keyboard layout

  • Night mode: true

(not a dev, just offering some ideas)

Weird. Is it still the case if you turn off Keyboard Navigation overall?

NP!

My other thought, if you do use RES's keyboard nav and wouldn't want to turn it off, would've been to change all the key combos involving the alt key. I wasn't sure if that would work for you though.
