No option for these shortcuts to work globally.
by Mohamed El-Azzawy, 2024-10-03

I've been loving this extension for the longest time. But recent changes somehow made this extension unusable. The problem occurs after a few moment of use (not sure at what point). when it occurs, pressing either A, S, or D wouldn't skip nor pause the youtube playback. Problem still persist despite creating a new youtube tab, unless you reopen chrome or create a new incognito mode
