Cervatiuc Alin (ID: 0000009d107df103) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/04/2021 It s a nice extension, maybe you could add in the future a keystroke for it so we won`t be needing to press click2 and select the option we need. Just the keyword select and a keystroke assigned and voila. You take it to the next level!
