Set extension keyboard shortcuts

Extensions can declare keyboard commands, such as opening their popup. Chromium keeps these shortcuts for each Space's installation, so changing one in Work does not change it in Personal. The Spaces of a Sub-Space group share one installation and its shortcuts.

Change a shortcut​

  1. Open Crest Settings and select the Space in the sidebar.
  2. Select Extensions, then Shortcuts…. Chromium's extension shortcuts page opens for that Space.
  3. Find the extension's command and set, change or clear its shortcut there.

When a shortcut does nothing​

Crest's own shortcuts come first. An extension shortcut runs only when no Crest command uses the same keys. Check Crest Settings → Shortcuts for a conflict, and pick different keys for one of them.

A shortcut that opens an extension's popup shows it beside the extension's pinned icon, or beside the control that opens the window's extension list when the extension is not pinned.
