Spreadsheet Shortcuts Extension

Ever wanted a keyboard shortcut to the \"Merge cells\" button in google spreadsheets? Now you can!

Install the extension, by default Ctrl+M will do the trick, but if you want a different combo, go to the extention's settings after install and choose your own!

You can setup up to 5 shortcuts to different buttons in the Options page.

This is my first Chrome extension, and also my first html/javascript code ever. I wrote this in a few hours, so it's not bullet proof.

If you have any problems, email me and i'll try to help.
