If you don't like default keyboard shortcuts, you can change them by going to chrome://extensions/, then finding keySharky entry and clicking on Options. Now in keySharky Options tab, click inside input box of shortcut you want to change (so it has focus) and then press any allowed keyboard combo. If it is valid, it should change immediately for your usage pleasure :)

Note: you can't test new (or old) combos within keySharky Options tab. So keep another tab opened for that.

Default "Playback control" keyboard shortcuts:

  • Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Z to Play/Pause selected song

Great global shortcuts, I use it everyday, it's awesome!

As of March 2014, it still only works if the tab is open and has focus. I'm uninstalling. I needed a way to play/pause/next/prev from anywhere in windows.

es muy complicado para pasar una canción tener que oprimir tantas teclas. it so hard to pass a song pushing so many keys.
