About this extension
Tired of pressing Space and accidentally skipping ahead, restarting a movie, or triggering a random button? Frustrated that keyboard shortcuts stop working after exiting fullscreen?
Stream Keys fixes broken keyboard behavior on streaming sites. Your shortcuts always do what you expect – play, pause, toggle subtitles, or go fullscreen – no matter what's focused on the page.
Supported Services
Disney+ • HBO Max • BBC iPlayer • YouTube (position restore)
Key Features
Never Lose Your Place—Position Restore
Press R to instantly jump back to where you were. Perfect for when you overshoot a skip, accidentally seek too far, or want to rewatch a scene and then return.
The position menu shows:
Press S anytime to save your current position – great for marking a favorite scene or keeping your place before exploring. Stream Keys also automatically save positions whenever you use the timeline or skip buttons – so there's always somewhere to go back to. It's like undo for video navigation.
Customizable
Lightweight, privacy-friendly, and unobtrusive. No tracking, no ads – just reliable keyboard shortcuts.
