Diego FC (ID: 0000003d6f5d0ad7) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 Just to test it, here in this same extension page, in the Chrome Web Store, I select the word "Hotkeys" from the extension title, press Alt+Q, and I get a Google search for the word "Undefined". I haven't tested it much more, but clearly it didn't work on the first try, I don't know how often I might have to keep pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+T, Ctrl+V and Enter if this keeps failing.
