Description

Setup

Browser: Firefox 110.0 Editor: nvim v0.7.2

Description

The default GhostText shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+H) for Firefox on Linux conflicts with an existing Firefox shortcut (open Library). As such it has to be remapped out of the box for the extension to work. Would it make more sense to pick a different shortcut so that the extension works with its default settings?
