Been using for months and never failed me. Thank you so much for making this

When I click under the video play bar, all keys work properly. When I click outside the screen of the page, the up and down keys do not work properly. When I adjust the volume or playback position by dragging the mouse, the up and down keys do not work properly. This is much better than the original state where all four directional keys worked properly only when I clicked inside the screen. When I click under the play bar and adjust, the playback does not stop and it is comfortable.

Cool Extension! It would be even cooler if you also would remove that one light blue bar that appears on top of the volume change when pressing the right and left keys
