Michael Paulo (ID: 000000ed134f27fc) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/19/2023 Great extension! These are keyboard shortcuts that really should be integrated into Messenger. I now robotically use the Alt+Shift+# shortcut to change conversations without having to go through the MASSIVE chore of moving my mouse to the left side of the screen, searching for the name I want, and hitting the left mouse button! 😂 Thanks for making this!
