Amazing extension but I need more flexible on shortcuts options not only Ctrl and Alt. Thanks

that is totally what i am looking for!

Pretty great extension. However, I wish I would be able to disable it for specific websites in which it doesn't work as intended. For example when I press tab in Google Sheets (the shortcut for jumping to next column) the cursor automatically jumps to the "rename" sheet tab, which disrupts my workflow completely.
