Hotkeys for YouTube Music™ Extension

Hotkeys for YouTube Music!

Use your keyboard's media keys to play, pause, stop, skip, go back, like and dislike on the YouTube Music™ website. The hotkeys work while you are in other programs too.

This is for the recently launched https://music.youtube.com

Keys can be rebound by going to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in chrome's address bar.

If it isn't working, try reloading the player using F5, disable any other extensions and close any other music programs etc. and try restarting your PC if it continues.

Necip A. (ID: 000000c3ac7d93f0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/19/2023 Is there any way to work on all websites? Right now, it is only working on Youtube music.

Roland de G (ID: 00000030d739f54b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/01/2023 It is a good app, but unfortunately often the quick keys on the keyboard for next/previous/play/pause don't work anymore, only the volume still works. This seems to happen after the system has been in sleep mode I think. A reboot is required before it works again. If this is fixed, it will be all good.

Eaelast (ID: 000000e90520a91e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/10/2023 Great app! But one thing the volume down hotkey doesn't work, it shows its going down but the volume is still the same. Edit: Actually it does work, i just have to trigger the volume down hotkey to what i want, then click the volume up hotkey once and it will lower.
