"Press the '#' button near the password field or use Ctrl+# to hash the password in place" not working

[HerrBert233]

• There is no '#' button near the password field
• Ctrl+# has no effect

The '#' button near the password field was removed a couple releases ago, when I changed the extension to use a page action instead of a browser action, as there was no way to open the page action dialog from JavaScript.

The keyboard shortcut for the page action is configured in the extension manifest:

passwordhasherplus/manifest.json

Lines 39 to 43 in 4c26774

	"commands": {
	"_execute_page_action": {
	"suggested_key": { "default": "Ctrl+Shift+3" }
	}
	},

The shortcut defaults to Ctrl+Shift+3 which maps to '#' on the en_US keyboard layout. You can adjust the shortcut by going to about:addons, clicking the cogwheel and selecting "Manage Extension Shortcuts".

I will update the documentation to include this information for the next release.

It seems that this shortcut conflicts with "Firefox Multi-Account Containers" add-on. If someone uses it, I suggest to set the "Container to open with Keyboard Shortcut 3" to "None" in that add-on.
