Summary

Analyze keywords

We all know that YouTube has a feature that you can tag(bookmark) any specific time of the current video with a video timestamp format like 11:25 in comments.

I found that when you try to create lots of tags for a longer-duration video, it's pretty annoying to write down the tag manually (in text editors like notepad). You have to switch back and forth between different apps. And it's even more annoying when you try to ensure the tagged time is accurate and precise.

So I created this extension to help me solve the problem. Now I can pretty much use just keyboard to add and adjust tags right in the YouTube interface.

Feedbacks are welcome.

Usage

I love this extension. However, I would suggest a few things to change and add: 1. Disable auto-loading of timestamps from the comments as in some videos there are hundred comments with timestamps which I don't want to use. 2. Include a tab for loading timestamps of chapters that is embedded in the video.

Can I disable shortcut keys or remap it cause it is interfering with another extension's shortcut key?
