Jiyaad Naeem (ID: 000000abf28a00c8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/01/2020 I was looking for a way to quickly get to setup menu as opposed to constantly clicking to get there as an admin. This app delivers, and works great! Just for reference as I wasn't sure, to access shortkeys, you need to go to extensions, and click the 3 bar menu at the top left of your screen and click shortkeys from there, you can configure what you want your shortkeys to be for each of the commands in the extension. Thanks for putting this together!!
