Можно добавить поддержку горячих клавиш на любой сайт с помощью расширения "User JavaScript and CSS" и кода setTimeout(function() { document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent("MediaControlStateChanged", { "detail": "enabled" })); }, 5000); // Web Page Media Control API interaction (v0.4) // https://github.com/feedbee/web-page-media-control-api-spec document.addEventListener("MediaPlayPause", function () { document.querySelector('').click(); });
