Shortcut conflicts are the worst we totally hear you on that. Here's the good news:

• Fully customizable keyboard shortcuts rebind any action to your preferred key combos

• Covers all major actions speed up/down, A-B loop set/clear, screenshot, filters, audio boost

• Conflict-friendly since you can remap everything, you can dodge conflicts with other extensions

• Instant response shortcuts trigger actions without any popup or menu interaction

• Persistent settings your shortcut configuration saves and stays across sessions

The keyboard shortcut system was designed to be highly customizable and lightweight because when you're in the middle of a 2-hour lecture at 2x speed, you don't want to break flow reaching for your mouse.

"A keyboard shortcut saved is a thought preserved."

Thanks for noticing this is genuinely one of the hardest parts of building a browser extension!

Here's a peek behind the curtain:

• Built with WXT framework a modern extension framework that handles a lot of cross-browser plumbing

• React 19 + TypeScript single codebase for all UI surfaces, strongly typed to catch platform-edge cases early

• 932 automated tests our test suite runs across the extension to catch regressions before they hit any store

• Manifest V3 compliant built natively for MV3 from the start, not ported from MV2

• One codebase, three builds platform-specific quirks are handled at the build layer, not in feature code

The goal was always: you install it on your browser of choice, and it just works the same way. No "Firefox version is behind" or "Edge is missing features" situations.

Note-takers, this one's for you!

Here's how the screenshot feature works:

• Full resolution capture grabs the video frame at the actual video resolution, not your viewport size

• What you see is what you get if the video is 1080p or 4K, your screenshot reflects that

• Instant download captured frame saves directly to your device

• Keyboard shortcut enabled bind it to a key and capture frames without pausing

• Works with filters if you've applied brightness/contrast adjustments, the screenshot captures that too

This is perfect for grabbing diagrams from Khan Academy lectures, code snippets from programming tutorials, or key slides from conference talks all at full quality.

Great question and the short answer is yes, it works across multiple video sites, not just YouTube!

Video Controls Plus is built as a universal HTML5 video controller, which means it hooks into the standard video element that most modern sites use. Here's what that means for you:

• YouTube full support including speed, loops, filters, screenshots

• Udemy, Coursera, Khan Academy works with their embedded HTML5 players

• Vimeo, Dailymotion, Twitch same consistent controls across all of them

• Any site using a standard HTML5 <video> element the extension detects and attaches automatically

The whole point was to solve exactly the frustration you described jumping between platforms and having to re-learn or lose your preferred controls each time.
