## Description

ShiftLeftClickDownloader is a versatile Chrome extension designed to streamline your downloading experience. Inspired by SeaMonkey's Shift + LeftClick, it allows users to download files or images instantly using customizable mouse events and key modifiers. Whether you want to download only links, images, or both, this add-on offers flexible preferences, including options to be prompted when multiple download targets are found or to always download images by default.

The extension supports different download methods, with a recommended default approach that ensures stability. It provides an intuitive way to manage downloads without disrupting your browsing flow, especially useful for those looking to enhance productivity with tailored shortcut controls. While the developer is receptive to user feedback for improvements, this tool stands as a handy utility for anyone looking to simplify file downloads directly from the browser.
