Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This extension disables the 0-9, Home and End keyboard shortcuts on YouTube which seek to different times on a video.

The volume control keys on my laptop are directly above the numbers. Sometimes when I change the volume I accidentally press a number key which seeks to a different place in the video I am watching and causes me to lose my place. This extension solves the problem by disabling the number keyboard shortcuts.

If you have any issues, please file an issue on GitHub.

It works. I use arrow keys and guess which key is closest? Zero. I randomly restart my videos all the time on accident. Thank you
