Youtube Twitch Controls: Standardizing Shortcuts for Video Playback
Youtube Twitch Controls is a free Chrome extension developed by hm110896. Categorized under Browsers and listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory, this extension aims to standardize mouse and keyboard shortcuts on Youtube and Twitch.
The extension addresses the issue of inconsistent behavior caused by different page elements having focus on these platforms. For example, adjusting the volume slider on Youtube can change the functionality of the left and right arrow keys from skipping and rewinding the video to adjusting the volume. Youtube Twitch Controls ensures that the following inputs will always produce the same behavior:
- Left/right arrow keys: rewind/skip 5 seconds
- Up/down arrow keys: raise/lower volume by 5%
- Spacebar: play/pause the video
- Clicking the video: play/pause the video
By providing a consistent experience across Youtube and Twitch, this simple extension enhances the usability and convenience of video playback for users.
