Extension keyboard shortcuts

The extension ships with two keyboard commands. Both are configurable in chrome://extensions/shortcuts.

Defaults

ActionShortcutNotes
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

  1. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts in any Chrome window.
  2. Find Toado in the list.
  3. Click the pencil next to the shortcut you want to change.
  4. Press the new key combination.
  5. Click outside to commit.

Limitations imposed by Chrome:

  • Each shortcut must include either Ctrl, Alt, or Cmd (modifiers).
  • Ctrl+Alt+letter, Ctrl+Shift+letter, and Alt+letter are 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.
