It's has options for enabling or disabling key combos while you're currently focused on a form field, so you can have keyboard shortcuts like \"r\" or \"shift+h\" and still be able to type those values into a form without triggering the shortcut if you want.
You can also blacklist or whitelist sites per-shortcut, to pick and choose which shortcuts you don't want active on which sites.
Shortkeys lets you use pretty much any key combo you want. Key combos are zero or more modifier keys (including ⇑, shift, option, ⌥, alt, ctrl, control, command, and ⌘), and one action key (letter, number, punctuation, or special key shown below), combined with + signs.
Examples: \"shift+r\", \"k\", \"ctrl+alt+f7\", \"command+pageup\", etc.
You can also string multiple key combos together to make key sequences (like how Gmail has \"g i\" to go to inbox). Examples: \"g g\" or \"ctrl+t shift+f7\".
Special action keys that can be used include backspace, tab, clear, enter, return, esc, escape, space, up, down, left, right, home, end, pageup, pagedown, del, delete and f1 through f19.
