Is there a way to change what the shortcut key combination is?
I like the extension, however, I mainly want an extension to save time and be easy to use.
Here's some feedback / ideas:
1. Switch the add and remove key combos - only use the "shift" key for the remove option. I like this better because it would make adding a little easier, and removing require just a little more effort. Great because I think making a mistake when removing is less favorable (and thus could need just a bit more concentration, like with 2 hands) then making a mistake when adding (mistakes are less of a big deal)
2. (option / shift / L) and (Alt / shift / L) are really cumbersome to use with one hand. Change it to (control / shift / L) - instead of (option / alt)- which I just think is a more natural hand position..
3. Let you change the key combinations yourself? I don't know if the extension could allow this, but it would be nice to make them whatever you want.
you already need the video open to add to watch later? its just as slow...
i need the extension to work without the video open, as im browsing videos.
Not working on mac :(
