HBO Max Hotkeys Extension

Say goodbye to mouse clicking: use your keyboard as a remote and control the HBO Max player.

How does it work? It’s simple- use keyboard shortcuts:
- Rewind 10 seconds (left arrow)
- Fast forward 10 seconds (right arrow)
- Increase volume (up arrow)
- Decrease volume (down arrow)
- Go full screen (F)

All you need to do is add the HBO Max Hotkeys extension to your browser, enable the keyboard shortcuts using a built-in toggle and control the HBO Max player without any clicks. It's as simple as that!

Rob Rivera (ID: 0000005b765a05b1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/29/2022 Not bad, mostly works. Full screen unfortunately goes to a separate full screen that loses closed captions. Also seems to default to where focus is on captions button so if you pause it opens the captions menu...
