Extension summary

This is a simple extension that makes video player shortcuts behave more consistently across Youtube and Twitch.

On both of these platforms mouse and keyboard shortcuts can produce unexpected behavior depending on what page element currently has focus. For example, if you are watching a video on Youtube and you've recently moved the volume slider to adjust the sound, the left and right arrow keys will now adjust the volume instead of skipping and rewinding the video. This extension ensures that the following inputs will always produce the same behavior:

  • Left/right arrow keys: rewind/skip 5 seconds
  • Up/down arrow keys: raise/lower volume by 5%
  • Space: play/pause the video
  • Clicking the video: play/pause the video
