Shortkeys is a cross-browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera) for creating custom keyboard shortcuts with 125+ built-in actions like tab management, scrolling, and running custom JavaScript. It supports multi-key sequences, macro chaining, site filtering, shortcut packs, cloud sync, and a command palette.

Use cases

• create custom keyboard shortcuts in chrome
• run javascript on a page with a hotkey
• vim keybindings for the browser
• control youtube playback with keyboard shortcuts
• chain multiple browser actions into one shortcut
• disable shortcuts on specific websites
• sync browser shortcuts across devices

When to choose

• you want keyboard-driven browser navigation without leaving the browser
• you need per-site shortcut allowlists or blocklists
• you want to run custom JS or userscripts from a keypress
• you use multiple Chromium/Firefox browsers and want synced shortcuts

When to avoid

• you need OS-wide shortcuts outside the browser
• you need deep automation like full browser automation frameworks (Playwright/Puppeteer)
• you only need the few shortcuts your browser already supports natively
