Issue occurred at Step2.3 - clicking "Load unpacked extension" and browse to the app/ directory to install it.

It says "Failed to load extension from: ~\chrome-shortkeys\app
Could not load javascript 'bower_components/mousetrap/mousetrap.min.js' for content script."

How can I install mousetrap.min.js? I tried installing bower mousetrap. None of the packages are mousetrap.min.js

Also. the drop box link at step 3.1 is missing.

Thanks!

I used this extension on an older computed and had quite a few shortcuts configured, with sync turned on. That computer broke and I no longer have access to it. On my new computed, after this extension is installed, I noticed that my shortcuts were not available. I went to options, but no shortcuts were configured there.

I realized that the extension is looking for shortcuts in chrome.storage.local and I need to turn on sync so it will look in chrome.storage.sync. So in the options page, I opened the developer tools' console and did a chrome.storage.sync.get(null, function (d) {console.log(d)}) and I could see all my shortcuts just as I configured them on my old system.

So now, I go an turn on sync. No shortcuts turn up. I check chrome.sync again, and its empty. I lost all my shortcuts.

Now, I have to ask, why is sync optional? And can we please address this issue before it bites someone else? I'll see if I can find some time to dig in the source. If you ask me, the fix is to always use chrome.storage.sync.

Thank you.

Would it be possible to add an action to open incognito tab? It would be useful in my effort to have Firefox-like shortcuts.

@mikecrittenden Some site are already listening to my shortcuts. Can extension override this shortcuts?

1. Add a keybinding (eg. ctrl+enter)
2. run javascript (alert('df');)
3. focus on textarea
4. press ctrl+enter
5. nothing happens

It's very difficult to read in that small panel

Can the new tab be in the current window?I could not find the code doing it here so that I can also contribute.

Using on Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit)

I'm using this extension with chrome-shortkeys (v2.0.17) on Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) and my Previous Tab shortcut is not working when on the "New Tab" page.

I'm using "command+shift+left" for the Previous Tab shortcut.

It works fine when the Motivation extension is disabled.

This may be an issue with Motivation hijacking the keyboard somehow, but not sure.

An option to open in the current tab or open in a new tab would probably be nice.

This would be helpful when there are some potential shortcut key conflict.

When changing the activation settings to specific URL patterns, shortcut doesn't work in any site

I'm wondering if you could use this to allow global shortcut keys to be defined for controlling audio playback on almost any site?

For example, I use the "Streamus" extension to listen to YouTube playlists, and it allows me to globally toggle playback and jump to prev/next tracks, which is great.

But if your extension allowed me to bind global shortcut keys to any page when it was loaded, then I could map global shortcuts to per site keyboard shortcuts for other music sites, like thesixtyone.com, and then I could toggle playback, skip tracks, etc, regardless of the music site I was currently using.

Streamus shortcuts are configured using the global chrome shortcuts, found here:

chrome://extensions/configureCommands

Specifically I'm interested in being able to simulate key presses on text components where default shortcut keys for the component conflict with browser shortcuts.

It would be very useful if the plugin could provide a check box or other means of turning on/off a "sendkey mode" such that any focused component would then receive all simulated key combinations from the user.

I've not found a plugin which offers this kind of feature, but it has been requested on stackoverflow and I saw something about key simulation in the plugin api.

Is this possible?

Would be nice to be able to bind shortcut on the contextual menu "Search XYZ with google"

Non of my tabs shortcuts work on tabs for some google websites.

Examples:
I can't pin/move a tab using shortcuts if the tab url is google.com or maps.google.com or the chrome launch page

I do not think this is possible due to JS security, but I would love to see it if it is possible
I would love to have "v v" be my paste - my hand gets fatigued through the day doing tons of ctrl-v

Looks like we can use chrome.sessions for this, which includes a .restore() and a .getRecentlyClosed()

Hey Mike
Im having one issue, I use this extension for tribal wars of course:) and I have one key setup to input a script then another key to click button and switch to next page..

my issue here is once i click the key that does the script I can no longer use the key that clicks the button or the key that switches tabs..

any way to fix this and also I would be forever in your debt if I could get you to add a couple more things that us tribal wars guys can use..?

If you have time to spare for me I would love to get with you on skype and if a couple things could be added, you would get a ridiculous amount of people from this game wanting this extension..

skype name is forgotten warrior
its a picture of my son and I playing pool

~thanks for your time, really hope to hear from you soon..

I am trying to replicate a more emacs'ish feel via your extension.

Thanks for your work on this by the way, it's quite handy

Zoom in, zoom out, and reset zoom should be actions for shortcuts.

Hello is possible to create shortkeys on mouse buttons? Example mouse7 : previous page; mouse8 : next page; wheelup : javascript; etc

Is that possible?

so bookmarklets can also be activated by handy shortcuts.

Thanks.

Somewhat of an edge case scenario, but I think it's worth an attempt to solve:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a new shortkey
2. Choose an action from the "Behavior" select list
3. Choose an action from the "Behavior" select list again

Observe that the label of the new shortkey doesn't match the selected option. Also, custom settings for certain actions are now not linked to the correct option in the select list. For example, choosing "Run Javascript" won't display the JS text area, but choosing "Reset Zoom" (the option immediately above it in the list) will display the JS text area. So the index seems to be off by one in this case.

Note that this bug only occurs if the shortkey hasn't yet been saved.

Hi there,

I was wondering if it would be possible to add an action that would activate the omnibox in chrome so its ready for further text input of addresses, google searches,etc. (basically the same action that occurs when hitting command-L in the mac version of Chrome).

I can remap ctrl+q to "Go Back" but if I try to remap f1 it still launches chrome help.

For instance ctrl+num3 doesnt seem to work.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for everything btw.

Instead of being limited to running commands on pageload, users should be able to run the same sets of commands on pageload automatically

ive mapped alt+left to "previous tab" and alt+right to the respective "next tab".

now, this works fine except for two cases:

• opening a new empty tab, loading some website and then hitting alt+left, the performed action is "go back"

• same when any old/new tab has not finished loading and i hit alt+left, the performed action is "go back"

in both cases alt+right doesnt do anything at all.

Some people have bookmarks that are just the icons, meaning they have no titles. These don't work.

Need a fix to where it falls back to the URL or something if there's no title.

In Chrome, I have a keyboard shortcut of CTRL+Q to activate an extension called Site Launcher. This shortcut is configured using the Configure Commands option in the Extensions screen.

Every once in a while, seemingly at random, the extension shortcut (and all other shortcuts from the Configure Commands screen) is blanked out after I relaunch Chrome, and I have to set it again. This occurs on multiple PCs: Windows 7, Windows 8 and a Chromebook.

I suspect that the Shortkeys extension maybe causing this, but I have no way of knowing 100% sure. I know I can turn it off/disable the extension and see if it ever happens, but I've gotten to rely on it almost completely it would be difficult to do so, especially since the shortcut resets at random! I can try turning it off if it helps your debugging, but I thought I'd check if you ran into this issue before.

I've set up a very simple rule set:
⌘+shift+right Next Tab All Sites
⌘+shift+left Prev Tab All Sites

It's completely non-functional. Attempts at other combos similarly do not work.

Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 on OSX 10.8.2

Right now there's only the option to open a single page.

Hello,

I am using the latest version of of chrome-shortkeys in Opera 31 for Windows.

Before the update from v30 to v31I was able to edit the "keys". But now the form for the shortcuts is missing: http://abload.de/img/2015-08-14shot007d5kjk.jpg

However the defined shortcuts/shortkeys before v31 still work.

Any help?

thanks! webaschtl

Once I have created a list of shortcuts, I would like to be able to export the shortcuts and share them with someone else who can then import them.

I'm on Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS, Chrome Version 54.0.2840.100 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce:

• Add shortcut for alt+t mapped to "New Tab"
• Save, quit browser, restart
• Press alt+t => Expected new tab to open, but nothing happens
• Click in webpage area
• Press alt+t => now new tab opens!
• Press alt+t again => another tab does not open
• Click in webpage area, then press alt+t => new tab opens

It appears that either window page body area must be focused, or the URL bar must not be focused, for the keybinding to take effect. This limits the usefulness of the extension for me. My goal was to make my home Linux computer work more similarly to my work Mac computer, where Cmd+T and Cmd+W open and close Chrome tabs. On Linux, the "Alt" key is located where the Mac "Cmd" key would be.

Hi @mikecrittenden,

There is no reason to console.log(keySettings);. Please remove it.

I'm not sure it even possible, but I'd like to have ability to assign shortcuts globally.

My use-case is to be able to switch between tabs using ctrl+down and ctrl+up, in activate settings I chose All Sites and noticed that shortkeys works perfect on all sites (except chrome.google.com), and it doesn't work in new tab, settings, extensions an so on.

A great improvement could be allow the use of some shortkey also when you are editing a form.

For example I use ctrl+right and ctrl+left to switch to next/previous tab. Those combination are safe and can be catched also on form inputs.
The extensions, should allow the user to enable some shortkeys when he/she belive that it's "form safe".

Thanks for your plugin!

It would be nice to have a custom shortcut for Find... (i.e., invoking Chrome's native Find dialog) because for obvious reasons some of us prefer / for Find.

At the moment there seems to be no way to invoke the native Find dialog through Chrome's JavaScript API (did I miss anything?). Anyway, I'm opening this issue in the hope that this feature gets implemented in the API in the future, and then we can add the action to chrome-shortkeys. The chances look very slim, though.

This would be helpful not only for backup purposes but to transfer settings to another computer.

Chrome Version 35.0.1916.153

I can't get anything to work.

Would it be possible to add shortcuts for "close tabs to the left (and right) of current tab"?

Hello,

I am wondering if it's possible to add a keybinding to ctrl+enter to submit the nearest parent form from the currently focused element? This would greatly benefit alot of people.

Thank you.

For example, a Reddit plugin which would define actions like "open inbox", or "upvote", or "quick reply" from a separate extension. Shortkeys would see those and they would be available as actions on the settings page.

The current implementation only queries current window. To query all windows is really useful.
