Overview

Have you ever been watching a programming tutorial or a packed lecture, and had to constantly alt-tab-then-space, just to pause the video to follow up with code or take notes? Or wanted to rewind or forward a video while you were in the middle of a game?

Keyboard-operated YouTube is a powerful browser extension that pairs with a lightweight desktop app, letting you control YouTube (and most HTML5 video players) using global hotkeys—even when your browser is in the background.
