Postpone Ctrl+G, Ctrl+Shift+G shortcuts deprecation #382

Hi, I understand that these shortcuts became mostly obsolete with the Manifest V3 migration, but I've a usecase that still relies on them. I also understand that using Browserpass as a bookmark manager was discouraged even when this feature wasn't deprecated. But my usecase is a bit more than that.

I have multiple AWS account credentials, which in addition to username and password require an account ID field. That field can be auto-filled by opening a url that looks like this:

https://123456789012.signin.aws.amazon.com/console

where the first domain component is the account id. I use this feature heavily by opening the AWS console, searching for the account I need, pressing Ctrl+G to fill in the account id, searching for it again (not ideal, but good enough since 2-3 letters is enough to distinguish my accounts) and proceding as usual.

It would be possible to save those the URLs as bookmarks, but:

  1. Then I'd have to manage them in two places.
  2. Browser's bookmark search would search through all of my bookmarks, instead of just current domain's accounts, making it a lot harder to find the correct one.

I'd like to ask to postpone this feature's deprecation at least until Browserpass supports filling custom fields.
