Custom Hotkeys Extension

Allows you to set up hotkeys on any website. Use your keyboard to simulate a click on an element on the screen. It uses jQuery selectors.

I use it on pocketcasts.com to control the on screen controls. I made them the same as Youtubes keyboard controls.

Updated: 7/19/17
--> fixed a bug when typing in an input or textarea firing the event.

ekarron (ID: 0000000abf54391b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/13/2021 I didn't want to hate on this one, but it really needs an update. after using it for ~2 weeks I'm having 2 issues: 1. It doesn't disable itself when typing a comment (typing on search box is fine), so every time you're typing something it fires the actions. 2. it deletes some of the settings randomly, so you have to reset everything every couple of days. Both issues are making using it extremely frustrating, and not worth it.
