Perfect for gaming on multi monitor. Keyboard shortcuts can be edited @ chrome://extensions/shortcuts Example: [CTRL]+[Space] (also change "In Chrome" to "Global".)

I love this extension, it does all what you would need from a youtube controler, plus has customizable shortcuts!! But the only issue I am facing is that sometimes the shortcuts stop working all together, and I have to do a random series of deleting the extension, changing the shortcuts, and restarting chrome to get it to work, is there a solution to this issue?
