It's very easy to use. I‘d like to add a shortcut key for clicking to read aloud, such as holding down shift+clicking with the mouse to read aloud. This avoids enabling extensions repeatedly. 非常好用,希望可以增加个点击朗读的快捷键,例如按住shift+鼠标点击的时候朗读。这样就避免了来回启用扩展。

Thank you so much for this click2speech extension, I do a lot of study and research but I'm not a fast reader. I can do a lot more with is app, I have gotten used to the fastest speed. It would be nice if we could train it as it reads to make it even better. I'm also learning programming and would love to see the raw code to learn and collaborate with improvements. Thank you again for you work!
