Tired of closing the download bar after every download with the little close button in the right corner? Because Google couldn't handle to add a simple little hotkey for that, I gave you this extension to close it with ALT+W. You don't like the hotkey? Just change it ;)

Thank you this addon saved me a thousand clicks. However due to recent updates to Chrome the download bar has been removed so this app finally became obsolete for me.

I like this extension but just now it didn't do anything when I pressed Alt+W. After changing the keyboard shortcut to no avail, I reinstalled the extension and somehow it works again.
