Hide Download Bar

What is Hide Download Bar?

The 'Hide Download Bar' is a lightweight Chrome extension designed for users who love to navigate through keyboard shortcuts rather than mouse usage. With this unique tool, users can conveniently hide the download shelf in their Chrome browser using the preset shortcuts - Ctrl+Shift+H, or Alt+Shift+H for Mac users. These shortcuts can also be altered at chrome://extensions/shortcuts based on user preference. Please note, this tool does not facilitate automatic closing of the download shelf, it only acts upon the command through keyboard shortcuts.

Work great! Using a keyboard shortcut instead of moving the mouse cursor to the close button every time saves me so much time. I love it <3

I LOVE IT. Sometimes my both hands are on keyboard and I'd like to hide the bar without reaching the mouse and clicking x. This fulfills my desire prefectly!!!

It's a piece of trash. The whole point of searching for & downloading this extension is so that what you want to happen HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY. If you have to press a combination of keys every time...you can just click the little X button on the download bar to close it instead. Stupid extension is stupid, as is anyone who defends it.
