User reviews

Users appreciate the extension for enabling quick navigation via custom hotkeys, finding it very useful for websites lacking native shortcuts. The interface is generally easy to use but lacks proper documentation, causing confusion initially. The main issue is a persistent error message that appears even during normal operation, which many find distracting. Users also experience shortcuts triggering unintentionally when typing in input fields and occasional inconsistent functioning. Despite these drawbacks, many recommend the extension for its utility and developer responsiveness.

Pros

Simplifies navigation and speeds up task execution by assigning hotkeys to web buttons.
Easy to use with an intuitive interface once figured out.
Helps perform actions quickly on websites without native shortcuts, especially useful for coding and browsing content like manga or webtoons.
Developer is responsive and provides good support.
Better solution compared to other macro builders that have limitations.

Cons

Frequent and repetitive error message: 'Step calling failed because the element was not found, maybe you are on the wrong page' even when the extension works, which is distracting.
Lack of clear instructions or documentation makes initial setup confusing for new users.
Shortcut keys sometimes trigger unintentionally when typing in input fields like search boxes, requiring users to disable the extension temporarily.
Some buttons or script shortcut options are not visible or accessible.
Occasional inconsistent behavior, working only after multiple refreshes or sometimes not working reliably.

I recently started using an extension to assign hotkeys to web buttons, and it's amazing! It simplifies navigation and speeds up task execution. The setup is straightforward, and the interface is intuitive. Now I can quickly perform actions that used to take time. I recommend it to anyone looking to boost their efficiency online!

Simply does not work tried this extension with Chrome, Vivaldi browsers and I only get the red pop up error: "Step calling failed because the element was not found. Maybe you are on the wrong page." Always. I really wanted this to work. I think Im using this wrong. There are no directions/instruction on how to use this.
