Create hotkeys for Google Docs
Docs Hotkey allows for complex hotkey setups with simple configuration. Hotkeys can be created to do the following:
- Highlight in any color
- Bold
- Underline
- Italicize
- Change text color
- Change fonts
- Change font size
- Set heading type (e.g., Heading 1, Normal Text, Title)
- Strike through text
- Change alignment and indentation
- Add emoji reactions
- Clear all styles (and remove specific styles)
- Execute add-ons
A single hotkey can be configured to do several of these at once.
Docs Hotkey was originally created solely for the addition of a highlight shortcut, but it has since expanded to many others. If you need a shortcut for something that is not available, feel free to contact me.
Now supports Google Slides and Google Classroom!

- (2023-07-26) Caleb DeLon: AMAZING. I've been wishing for a highlighting keyboard shortcut for so long. Works perfectly, once I got Chrome's Extension Shortcuts to actually save my shortcut. For some reason it wouldn't accept the shortcut I originally wanted, so I just tried another.
- (2023-06-06) 안병욱: 이런 리뷰 잘 안쓰는데... 구글문서 형광펜 쓸 때마다 단축키 마려웠는데.. 정말 좋다. 여기 들어가서, 단축키를 내가 편한 것으로 세팅하면 더 편리함. 예를 들어, 1번 하이라이트로 하고, ctrl+shift+d로 하면 편함 h는 키보드가 너무 멀어서 불편해서 바꾸니까 개편함. chrome://extensions/shortcuts
- (2023-05-18) Gina Chung: Works perfectly and an absolute gem of a tool! I used it to easily highlight and change the text colors of my notes in google docs, and once everything was all set up, it worked like a charm! Google Docs is so terrible with how they hide formatting behind so many layers AND don't let you make custom shortcuts; this completely solved this issue and made my life a whole lot easier! (Zack if you see this maybe you can consider making this available for Firefox as well :) That would really make my day because I recently moved over there and miss this extension dearly)
