Joey Ziolkowski (ID: 0000006b0b68dde1) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 12/03/2022 Just what I have been looking for! The only issue, as others have brought up, is that the notifications get pretty annoying. Would love to be able to toggle those off.

Gareth “G-Rath” Jones (ID: 00000021b197f996) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/23/2022 Good little extension, except _really_ wish I could turn off the notifications as I really don't need and so they're just very distracting :(

Colin Hunt (ID: 000000af1cbb1c9d) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/08/2021 Works as advertised! Note, the keyboard shortucts on Mac are different than the defaults. You can change the shortcuts under Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts.

Perry Myers (ID: 000000075d8f5fd2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/20/2021 Plugin is excellent and works very well on both Windows 11 and Fedora Linux. Would be awesome if it was more customizable though (ability to change the global shortcuts and to disable the notifications). Thanks for your work on this!

Alex Kuck (ID: 000000c77ccc85b9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/01/2021 Thanks. Could you make the notifications optional?
