Hi there community!

As simply stated above, I want to tweak my keyboard shortcuts so that navigating between pinned and non-pinned tabs are distinguished. Reason for that is that I have ~8 pinned tabs (Gmail, Facebook, Feedly, Calendar, HabitsRPG to name a few), and as a result cannot quick navigate between my regular, unpinned tabs using numbered hotkeys.

Thanks!

Chosen solution

This code when assigned to a key will select a not pinned tab with number D, so you could possibly use the keyconfig or another extension to assign Ctrl 1-9 to the appropriate code. I use this to go to the first unpinned tab without the D code. 

var D=1;
var M=gBrowser.mTabContainer;
var C=M.childNodes;
var L=C.length;
var cT=M.selectedIndex,sT=cT,T,i;
for(i=0;T=C[i];i++){if(!T.hasAttribute('pinned')){sT=i;break;}}
M.selectedIndex=sT+D-1;

Test code: 

var M=gBrowser.mTabContainer;
var C=M.childNodes;
var L=C.length;
var cT=M.selectedIndex,sT=cT,T,i;
for(i=0;T=C[i];i++){if(!T.hasAttribute('pinned')){sT=i;break;}}
var D=parseInt(prompt("PIN: "+(sT)+"\nCUR: "+(cT+1),L-sT-1))||0;
if(D<0){D=-D;sT=0;}
if(D){M.selectedIndex=sT+D-1;}

Currently this is not a feature of Firefox, however you may be able to create your own short cut with this add on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../customizable-shortcuts/

Thanks for your input! Unfortunately, there is no current binding specific to App tabs, and this addon does not allow creation of new task to shortcut.

I used Keyconfig and the provided code to achieve what I wanted. Thanks so much, cor-el! A round of applause! :-)
