this is an awesome extension!!! im using it to have global shortcuts for YouTube Music. i dont know css or java, just a little bit of html so it took me a while to figure out the code for it but it works now. for anyone wondering the resources i used were: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document_object_model/Locating_DOM_elements_using_selectors https://www.javascripttutorial.net/javascript-dom/javascript-queryselector/ you will also need to learn inspect element to get the class ids.

The most flexible one but lacks examples to be more widely used. I'm using it on YouTube with settings like this: URL matched as https://*.youtube.com/*, only for fist tab matched and only if tab is active in its window To toggle play/pause, use this code: document.querySelectorAll("button.ytp-play-button.ytp-button")[0].click();
