I'd like to use different search engines by keyboard shortcuts. there is a way to change it while typing search keyword, but I hope it could be easier.

in short, I'd like to use Ctrl+K to search using duckduckgo (or my default search engine), while Ctrl+J to use google (or any pre-defined one).

I'm using firefox developer edition, which seems not having feature like customizing keyboard shortcuts.

I want a feature to customize keyboard shortcut to search with specific search engine like google or wikipedia while default search engine is untouched.

your link provides just simple keyboard shortcuts, which no helps to me.
