Copy URL of active site with shift+cmd+c

[Kevoin]

It would be nice if we could use shift+cmd+c to copy the URL of the current site like arc. I know the shortcut currently open Dev-tools, maybe move Dev-tools to f12 instead (Like in arc and chrome)?

would love to see this, got so used to it on arc - hate when zen/firefox opens the developer console instead.

tried to build an addon to fix it but seems the shortcut is registered globally and there is no way to override it - settled with alternative for now. would love to see this in zen ❤️

Adding my vote, I copy and paste URLs all the time and my muscle memory is cmd-shift-c. The ability to set this as a shortcut in Zen would be a huge quality of life improvement. Orion has also adopted the cmd-shift-c shortcut so we might as well join.

As a soon-to-be former Arc user, this one has broken me too. I do it without thinking now and I think it's the last thing holding me back from jumping permanently to Zen.

Dev tools are also on ctrl+shift+i (cmd+alt+i on mac I am not sure). I'm currently testing Zen (to use it instead of Arc) and it will be nice to have copy url shortcut in Zen.

Another vote for this shortcut. I didn't even think about not being able to do that in a browser, Arc had me spoiled so badly. I would love to see this functionality added.

another vote for this shortcut, It would be really cool if there was a way we could just customize it within the zen settings

[mkster]

need this too, has anybody found a workaround for now?

Here you go: Alt+D , Ctrl+C

[erutan]

cmd+L then cmd+c on macOS. :)

[erutan]

Is this just doable as a browser extension?

[hjasond]

Even disabling the developer tools shortcut doesn't let you set it using one of these extensions. And yes, you can do the same thing with cmd+L and cmd+c I have a macro setup to hit those two commands when I type cmd+shift+c but its clunky. This would be a huge quality of life improvement in Zen who's muscle memory is set.

So autoconfig and shortkeys don't work?

Yeah but it's built on Firefox and has Firefox people too. I think having feature parity with Arc in a lot of ways is great, but out of the box changing Firefox keybinds (which have existed far longer than Arc has) doesn't feel right.

An issue that asked for more keybinds to be exposed would IMO be more appropriate - being able to change inspector being bound to cmd/ctrl+shift+c would get around the need for kludgey workarounds while not disrupting people used to the existing way of doing things.

To be clear, all I want is the ability to customize keyboard shortcuts to match my workflow which is not possible in Zen today. Ideally this could be added to the Keyboard Shortcuts settings page. I have no interest in changing the default behavior, just the ability to customize the browser to function how I would like to use it.

[FKouhai]

yeah I agree, I think it would be a good addition to have that extra customization

[TobiasVonEssenQED]

I back that. Coming from Arc browser, I am very much missing this QoL feature.

FYI for anyone following this discussion this feature was added in b3!
