Extension keyboard shortcuts
The extension ships with two keyboard commands. Both are configurable in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Defaults
| Action | Shortcut | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Open the extension popup | Alt + B | Same as clicking the toolbar icon. |
| Capture immediately | Alt + C | Skips the popup. Uses your default project (or the per-origin override). |
Mac uses the same shortcuts (Alt is the Option key on Mac).
Why two shortcuts
Alt+B for the popup, Alt+C for capture-now, mirrors the two most common interactions:
- “Capture this, but I want to change the project first” → popup.
- “Capture this, ship it” → capture-now.
Power users almost always switch to capture-now after the first week.
Inside the annotation toolbar
The shortcuts in the Annotation toolbar page apply once a ticket is open in the web app. They are not extension shortcuts; they are app shortcuts.
Changing shortcuts
- Open
chrome://extensions/shortcutsin any Chrome window. - Find Toado in the list.
- Click the pencil next to the shortcut you want to change.
- Press the new key combination.
- Click outside to commit.
Limitations imposed by Chrome:
- Each shortcut must include either
Ctrl,Alt, orCmd(modifiers). Ctrl+Alt+letter,Ctrl+Shift+letter, andAlt+letterare common safe choices.- A few combinations are reserved by Chrome (e.g.,
Ctrl+T,Ctrl+W) and cannot be used.
Per-OS configuration
Shortcuts are stored per-OS, not per-Chrome-profile. If you use Chrome on multiple machines, you have to set them on each machine.
