  • (2024-10-03) Joe Moran: What about up and down scrolling the page insted of changing the volume? I thought the whole point was that when you have a youtube video open, up and down will always change the volume and left and right will always skip forward and back

  • (2024-07-27) Darvin Lamvin: Yep seems to work so far, left and right keys now always control timeline and up and down keys control volume, I have no idea why the overpaid brainlets can't seem to figure out that people dont want to select a UI element with their mouse and the use arrow keys for that specific UI element lol, the key shortcuts are supposed to be universal but yeah like usual, the bigger the company the lower the quality.

  • (2023-10-29) Louis: I was tired of youtube always changing the volument when I use those arrow keys. It was so bad that it gave me a habit of always clicking somewhere random on a page as soon as I enter it.

  • (2023-03-08) Ben Berwick: Doesn't work. Found that when mute/speaker widget is double-clicked (which just toggles mute on/off quickly) then L/R scroll and U/D volume are restored.
