There's a Firefox extension called "leetkey" with a metric fuckton of features, which I have to use only the feature that lets me translate ROT-13. It's still pretty irksome. (The metric fuckton of features means I have to do more menu navigation than would be most convenient.)
It's the one I use, too. But you don't need to navigate menus: if you open the settings, you can bind the ROT13 switch to a keypress.
I tried that, but I couldn't figure out what kind of input it wanted to set the keyboard command. It wasn't in a standard symbology when I managed to get something typed in, and didn't respond normally to me typing the key sequence I wanted. Can you tell me how to make it work?
Just pressing the key combination inside the input box worked for me, although I had to make a few attempts before I found something that wasn't already used by another browser function.
Right now I use CTRL+] to ROT13 selected text, which in the LeetKey settings shows up as "Ctrl+VK_CONTEXT_MENU". It may be relevant that I use the US-International keyboard layout.
If I type Ctrl-] in the box, it just shows "Ctrl+". If I then press ] alone, "Ctrl+" disappears and it just says "VK_CONTEXT_MENU".
Weird. LeetKey's documentation is nonexistent, and I can't really imagine why it doesn't work for you. Maybe you can try directly editing the about:config results for leetkey? Googling "virtual key codes" should tell you what to insert in the entries, or you can recycle one of the default ones.
