1741450 - Incompatibility with MacOS window tiling feature

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1734292

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Tom Fucoloro]

Attachment: Screenshot showing the window tiling options including my keyboard shortcut, which does not function in Firefox.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:94.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/94.0

Steps to reproduce:

Running Monterey, set MacOS keyboard shortcut for Menu item "Move Window to Left Side of Screen" and "Move Window to Right Side of Screen." Keyboard shortcut works for most applications, but not Firefox.

Actual results:

Pressing the shortcut does nothing on Firefox, but hovering over the green dot brings up a drop-down menu showing the "Move Window to Left Side of Screen" and "Move Window to Right Side of Screen" options and notes my non-functioning keyboard shortcut. Clicking that option works as expected.

Expected results:

Pressing the shortcut should have triggered the window tiling change. I believe the problem is that "Move Window to Left Side of Screen" and "Move Window to Right Side of Screen" are not listed in the Firefox "Window" drop down menu. Because MacOS keyboard shortcuts rely on triggering menu functions, the shortcut won't work unless it is listed. So the fix should be to add those functions for the menu. This is hopefully an easy and quick fix.
