Works very well except the add-on interferes with YouTube's keyboard shortcuts. When you use ctrl+(left or right arrow) on Youtube you switch chapters. I've been looking for a solution to this problem but can't find one. I would appreciate any help bc I do really like this add-on. EDIT: Nvm I found a solution. Using Tampermonkey add-on I used the following script so that the Tab Switch add-on works before Youtube notices the shortcut being used. // ==UserScript== // @name Prioritize Tab-Switching over YouTube Shortcuts // @namespace http://tampermonkey.net/ // @version 0.6 // @description Ensure tab-switching extension works without YouTube intercepting the shortcut // @author You // @match *://www.youtube.com/* // @grant none // ==/UserScript== (function() { 'use strict'; // Listen for the keydown event at the capture phase window.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { // Check if Ctrl key is pressed and if the key is left or right arrow if (event.ctrlKey && (event.key === 'ArrowLeft' || event.key === 'ArrowRight')) { // Prevent YouTube from knowing about this key event event.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Stop YouTube from handling the event // Do not prevent the default action to allow the tab-switching extension to work } }, {capture: true, passive: true}); })();
