Keyboard shortcuts for Google Play Music.
Control Google Play Music playback with keyboard shortcuts from any tab.
Uses the Chrome Commands API to provide keybind functionality to avoid requiring permission to access to all websites (http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/commands.html).
Keybinds can be configured from the "Configure commands" dialog on the chrome://extensions/ page.

Media keys doesn't work
Easy to use and very useful
worked great. a little hard to find where to change the commands. but once i found them is set them up as a macro to connect to my keyboards music keys. only thing i have to do is press the music next/ prev or pause key on keyboard and it controls it even if im on another program
Jsem velice spokojen. Našel jsem, co jsem nutně potřeboval. Než stačím kliknout na chrome a vybrat kartu s hudbou a dávat stop, tak je jednodušší klávesová zkratka. Nefunguje zkratka další a předchozí skladba.
Could be great, but only Pause/Play worked, even after changing shortcuts in chrome://extensions/
Can't bind media keys.
I don't see the promised 'Configure commands' dialog on the chrome://extensions/ page, but I've found the shortcuts here... Dang... only pause works! I wonder if the other two are being consumed by my wm?
not bad! play and pause works perfectly but next and previous song doesnt work :/
Nice idea. Exactly what I need, but unfortunately previous/next song shortcuts don't work. :-(
Play and pause seems to work, but not next song, previous song...
crap
Its not impossible to change shortcuts. Its just really hard to find. You have to go to chrome://extensions/ scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and look for the text link "Keyboard shortcuts". This will open up a popup. Then just go to "Keyboard shortcuts for Google Play Music" and you will find the 3 shortcuts for play, next and previous.
Imposible to change shortcuts...
From the details: "Keybinds can be configured from the "Configure commands" dialog on the chrome://extensions/ page" This is false - there's no way to configure. Would give a higher rating if this was true. For now, it does what I want, but wish I could actually bind events to a configured key.
Does what it should. Thanks to the other Review I know the Shortcuts :)
Precisely what I needed. It was a little tricky to figure out the shortcut commands.. I had to look in the Github repo for that. For reference: Alt+Shift+P = Pause/play Alt+Shift+J = Next track Alt+Shift+K = Prev track You must have a Chrome window in active in order for these to work.
