Hotkeys: Customisable Browser Action Shortcuts Extension

"Hotkeys" is a Chrome extension that provides users with the ability to personalise their own shortcuts for basic browser actions. For usage, it requires new or reloaded tabs and must be web pages. Despite certain limitations due to its JavaScript-based operation, Hotkeys offers users a freedom to change hotkeys and provides a blocklist option for advanced users. Developer credits go to Gamer's Control, shortcut.js, and keycode.js.
