Hi Everyone

Good news if you have Chrome — they pushed out a new update recently that included support for activating extensions via customizable input.

Steps

Hit: '⌘' + ','

to go to Settings

Then click into the Extensions window

Then just scroll to the bottom of the extensions browser under settings and click 'Configure Commands'.

As seen here Keyboard_shortcuts_screenshot.png

Here you can add whatever keyboard shortcut you want (for those who suffer from decision paralysis '⌃' + '⇧' + 'e' or control + shift + e).

My recommendation to make this even easier is to map the capslock key to control (⌃),

If you want to do that in a mac you can under in the system preferences → keyboard → 'Modifier Keys' see image below

For non-Mac users, I'm sure there are good resources online for how to remap a key as outdated as the caps-lock key.

I hope this turns out to be helpful for people!

Cheers,

Mike

Thanks for the tip, @Mike Pacer.

I'm using the Canary Version 27.0.1441.0 build.  Looks like "Configure commands" will soon change to "Keyboard shortcuts" for all Chrome users:
