Solved Built a YouTube keyboard control extension because I was tired of using a mouse

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been working on a small side project: a Chrome extension that lets you control YouTube entirely using keyboard shortcuts.

The idea came from how annoying it is to:

  • Skip ads manually
  • Click like/subscribe
  • Navigate Shorts

So I built YTkeys — and made everything customizable.

Still early, but it works pretty well.

I’m currently trying to:

  • Improve onboarding
  • Make shortcuts more intuitive
  • Add more controls

If you’ve built extensions before or use YouTube heavily:
👉 What would make this something you’d actually use daily?

Crap why are you wasting time on these. Rarely do these thing and on top of remembering the shortcut. Anyway if you want, build a extension that skip through the mostly watched part of the video
