I'm blind and can't shift plus click, my screen reader won't let me, it goes to other parts of the page, would it be possible to add a keyboard shortcut to do this? If it doesn't work with my screen reader I would be able to turn it off and after pressing hte shortcut, I can turn it back on again.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

You didn't reply to my thread and just marked it as complete, did you add a shortcut?

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

Sure, as of the next release, you can use "chrome://extensions/shortcuts" to assign shortcuts for 2x, 3x, and 4x boosting. The shortcuts toggle the boosting level and adjust the new value same as Shift + Click.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

That's great! Will that work in firefox too? Or just chrome? I'm a firefox user.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

I think making the shortcuts something like, control 2 for 2x, control 3 for 3x and control 4, for 4x as a default would be really nice.

Could that be doable?

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

Both. After the next release on Firefox, go to "about:addons" and press the gear button. Then use "Manage Extension Shortcuts" to assign a custom shortcuts.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

That's great! Would you be able to asign shortcuts as a default so we'd not have to do that, honestly i'd probably forget it but if there were default shortcuts like, control, 2 3 and 4, for 2x 3x and 4x, I think that would be easier.

If you can't that's fine, I'd like to thank you for at least adding this feature.

Is there a way I can donate to you to say thank you? You honestly do deserve it.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

Oh also, do you have a timeline on that release by any chance?

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

control 2 for 2x

The functionality varies depending on the operating system. On macOS, Ctrl + 2 functions properly, but on Windows, I guess it switches browser to tab number two. I prefer not to set default values since it could confuse certain users and might not function across all operating systems.

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

That's completely fair. could you please add a note somewhere in the addon to remind shortcut users how to asign new shortcuts? Thanks.

Firefox version is already released. Chrome is on review.

It is mentioned on the tooltip of the button. Also the FAQs page.

It was a useful feature for all users. If you want there is a link on the FAQs page. https://webextension.org/listing/volume-booster.html?from=youtube

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

I'm reading the FAQ page on the link you gave and there's no mention of shortcuts, do i have to wait for it to update?

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

Yes, it is cached; FAQ6

I tried to reply to the email in thunderbird and so far nothing's happened but you might see a similar reply.

I'm new to github, what does cashed mean? also I have 0.1.3 Last Updated 16 January 2024. I've tried closeing firefox and it didn't update the addon even though I have auto update on, do I need to redownload the addon or is this normal?

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

Open "about:addons" in a browser tab and use the gear button, then "Check for Updates".

audiogamer22 commented 9 months ago

Thanks so much!. This works great! I'll be donating about £20 when I can to say thanks. I know it's not needed but I do apreciate it.

belaviyo commented 9 months ago

Cheers
