* Shortcuts for media control in Chrome
Ctrl + Option + J or K : Play/Pause
Ctrl + Option + H : Backward
Ctrl + Option + L : Forward
* Why I make this feature:
I make this feature for watching development lecture video in Chrome
Previously, I had to focus on the Chrome window to control media
then switch back to the IDE window
It is so uncomfortable and required the use of mouse
With this feature,
Chrome could be controlled
while maintaining the activated window such as IDE
This feature works any media in Chrome including YouTube, Netflix, Udemy, and more
And I also mapped the shortcut key to H/J/K/L for intuitive control:
Left arrow: Backward
Right arrow: Forward
Up or Down arrow: Play/Pause
* How it works:
When shortcut key is pressed, the following steps are executed:
1. Activate Chrome window
2. Simulate the key press event
- Ctrl + Option + H/J/K/L
- H: Left arrow
- L: Right arrow
- J or K: Space bar
3. Activate the previous window
Since this feature simulates the key press event,
the tap that need to control media should be activated in Chrome
Every Chrome control function shares the same code
1. Activate the Chrome window
2. Simulate the key press event
3. Activate the previous window
to avoid repeating the same code, I create a new function called 'controlChrome()'
which receives the 'keys' (a list) as an argument
Then, I bind each function to call `controlChrome()` with the respective `keys` argument.
This allows `controlChrome()` to execute the same code for each function:
1. Activate the Chrome window
2. Simulate the key press event (`keys`)
3. Activate the previously focused window
Modify > An argument of SimulateKeyPress()
To receive combination keys as an argument
'key' -> 'table.unpack(list: {keys})'
* Shortcuts for tab control in Chrome without focusing
Ctrl + Option + [ or ] : move left/right tab
Update the version and last update date

Code & Manual date: 2023-02-17 -> 2023-03-19
