Keyboard Shortcuts

SaveBuddy uses a keyboard shortcut to open the popup. The shortcut is set up through Chrome, so you can change it to anything you like.

Default shortcut

The manifest suggests Alt+S to open the SaveBuddy popup.

Alt+S is only a suggested default. Chrome might already use it for another extension or a browser feature. If it doesn’t work for you, assign a different one below.

View or change the shortcut

  1. Open Chrome’s shortcuts page:

    chrome://extensions/shortcuts
  2. Find SaveBuddy.
  3. Set the shortcut for Activate the extension (the _execute_action command), or click Remove to clear it.

The new shortcut takes effect immediately.

How it works

The shortcut is declared in extension/manifest.json under commands, using Chrome’s built-in _execute_action command. When triggered, it opens the SaveBuddy popup — the same thing as clicking the toolbar icon.

Notes

  • Chrome stores and manages shortcuts, not SaveBuddy. They sync with your Chrome profile if you sign in.
  • If two extensions use the same shortcut, Chrome keeps it for only one of them. Pick a free one at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
  • The shortcut only opens the popup. To save the tab you’re on, click SAVE TAB inside the popup.
