Create hotkeys for Google Docs

Docs Hotkey
Description from store

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
- Add bulleted lists and set their spacing
- Clear all styles and remove specific styles
- Execute add-ons
- Insert search menu components (e.g., building blocks)

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!

Strikethrough doesn't work in Edge/Windows 11. Instead of crossing a word the shortcut opens the "Format" menu in Google Docs. Can you please fix it or advise how to fix it?

Works so well, I had some problems at the start, but I kept making new ones and it somehow worked. I love this extension and its very easy to highlight. You should add a code that allows other people to use multiple different shortcuts. Thanks for making my life easier. W mans

I found this extension via Reddit. Works really well. Thank you!
Adrianna Felder
LOVE THIS! feature request! can you add an add on for adding tables? even if its just two boxes ones its there you can double click and do anything but i create so many tables for school and i just want to make the work flow a bit faster please and thank you!
Shannon Chambers
Exactly what I was looking for - don't forget to set up the shortcuts in Chrome or else this won't work. Follow the steps here: https://docs-hotkey.zackmurry.com/#getting-started. I'd rate this 5 stars but I'd love to see line spacing options. I like to format my docs with 3pts of spacing after each line and it takes many clicks to do this so an extension option would be wonderful.

Big help
周紜竹Julia
sooooo helpful for debate!!

please add superscript and subscript :/ installed this specifically bc my keyboard wont recognize ctrl , and . for some reason and we should be able to customize the actions as well instead of being locked into ctrl shift h

I've been using this for highlighting and it's been great, but lately some hex codes don't work and they all become grey highlight instead.

Awesome stuff!

Makes quickly changing colors on text boxes so much more easier!

Works great, remember to follow the steps on the website to set-up the hotkey functionality. This needs to be created through Chrome settings itself, not the extension! (https://docs-hotkey.zackmurry.com/creating-hotkeys)
Emma Quick
I can't figure out how the commands for the hotkeys bruh please help me
Falaniko Tofa
Real useful. Would you consider adding a command for "add space after list item"? When I make bullet points I want them to be spaced but no shortcut for this rn.
Don Stewart
Love it! FINALLY can make google docs bullet list same shortcut as my other apps!
Soulx Stowell
I just cant get it to work, idk if its user error or if its outdated but its not working.

Sylas V
this is so helpful when it comes to work! when I need to quickly need to do something all I have to do is hold ctrl+shift+0 and I have highlighted AND underlined what was inportant! I tell you if you get this your life will change!
JQ Whitcomb
Excellent extension. It takes a few steps to get set up but once you do, prepare to save a ton of time if you do repetitive text formatting changes in GDocs. I use it mainly when grading students' writing work, in order to highlight text in different colors according to their mistakes.
Joel Chitunda
Is there a way to CAPITILIZE / UNCAPITALIZE an entire phrase?
Han Yan
Amazing, does exactly what it's supposed to do! truly such a time saver and a really helpful extension for writing speeches for debate. thank you so much; this saved so much time and strife!
watson Xi
Command-option-H won't work, which tripped me up at first but its unlikely due to this extension. Command-shift-H works great. Excellent extension! Thank yoU!
Graeme Z Johnson
Simple and does what it says it will.
