YouTube Music Hotkeys - Control YouTube Music Via Shortcuts

"YouTube Music Hotkeys" is a Chrome extension that enables users to control YouTube Music (formerly Google Music) background playback without tab swapping. Key features include a browser action button enabling toggling of playback and providing other options on right click. Users can also open and pin YouTube Music and use keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl+Shift+8 for toggling playback, Ctrl+Shift+9 for the previous song, and Ctrl+Shift+0 for the next song. Moreover, it supports autoplay when &autoplay=true is in the URL. Default shortcuts can be customized via chrome://extensions/configure.
