Extension keyboard shortcuts

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

Defaults

Mac uses Option for Alt. Chrome command assignments may be changed or conflict with another extension; inspect the actual bindings if a shortcut does nothing.

See Page pins and Record from a page for the full workflows.

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

Check shortcut assignments in each Chrome profile and on each machine. If you use Chrome on multiple machines, you have to set them on each machine.
