Keyboard shortcut

Closed this issue · 4 comments

The default keyboard shortcut Alt+Shift+F does not work because it is (probably) already reserved.

As this answer on StackOverflow explains, it is needed to navigate to the extensions page and to manually set a shortcut.

This behavior should be mentioned in install.html and update.html. What do you think?

So everything works fine for me. Here's how I confirmed it works:

  1. Uninstall both the dev version of the extension and the one from the Chrome store.
  2. Comment out the commands section of manifest.json and rebuild with grunt
  3. Install extension. Shortcut keys don't work, but there is no default chrome behavior occurring, so it doesn't look like it's reserved.
  4. Uncomment the commands section and rebuild.
  5. Reinstall the extension (reloading is not sufficient). Commands should work now.

I did experience the issues you're talking about before, but removing all version of the extension and then reinstalling the dev version fixed the problem for me. Let me know if you still have issues.

Alt+Shift+F works now for me, however, Alt+Shift+N and +P don't.

Chrome shows a popup at the first installation of the extension (if installed by the Chrome Web Store!) providing a link for setting the shortcuts, so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.
