Hi! Yes it is possible! Well no to be exact, not possible with ctrl+enter but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. You can try the newest nightly/alpha/Aurora version of Firefox and test it out yourself. So you could use it right now :-)

So if Webextensions can modify about:config settings you could revive your extension but with ctrl+shift+enter instead. I don't think it's possible for Webextensions to edit that keyboard command (some others like ctrl+f are possible to rewrite though). If you want to track progress on that issue, it is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1215061
However enter is not even a keyboard shortcut I suppose so it is probably not affected by that issue, right?

Oh and it's not possible with the search bar right now! They don't seem to share the code. Is that considered as a bug? :Gijs?
