I want to add keyboard shortcuts to pake-youtube!

[Yaman-Harfoush]

Hi,

Could you please tell me how to add j, k , d (scroll down half a page) and u (scroll up half a page)
gg )go to top of the page) and G (go to bottom of the page)
Or even full vimium keys to pake-youtube?

Thank you!

The prebuilt pake-youtube binary has no settings panel for extra keys. You add them by injecting JS and rebuilding.

Save something like yt-keys.js:

document.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
  if (['INPUT', 'TEXTAREA'].includes(e.target.tagName) || e.target.isContentEditable) return;
  const h = window.innerHeight;
  if (e.key === 'd' && !e.ctrlKey) { window.scrollBy(0, h / 2); e.preventDefault(); }
  if (e.key === 'u' && !e.ctrlKey) { window.scrollBy(0, -h / 2); e.preventDefault(); }
  if (e.key === 'g' && !e.shiftKey) { window.scrollTo(0, 0); e.preventDefault(); }
  if (e.key === 'G') { window.scrollTo(0, document.documentElement.scrollHeight); e.preventDefault(); }
}, true);

YouTube already binds j / k in the player (seek). If you override those, do it only when the player is not focused.

Rebuild:

pake https://www.youtube.com --name YouTube --inject ./yt-keys.js

Docs: https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/main/docs/cli-usage.md (--inject). Full Vimium will not run inside Pake. It is an extension, not a userscript, and Pake's WebView does not load Chrome extensions. Port the handful of keys you care about, as above.

Thanks for responding. I want to override j and k even when the player is focused. I'll use arrows or other keys for seeking.
Could I add keys to go to history / watch later as well?
