Chrome Extension Keyboard Shortcuts

Wanted to share a quick tip on using keyboard shortcuts to activate chrome extensions. Up until now it never occurred to me to use a keyboard shortcut to activate an extension, but thanks to a user of my weather extension, I now have command + Ctrl + W mapped to open Weather. To setup your own keyboard shortcuts, browser to chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Leave a comment below of what other keyboard shortcuts you prefer.

If you prefer clicking the toolbar icon, here is how to pin an extension so it stays visible.

September 2026 update: Weather Extension now has an iOS app. WeatherExt for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch includes hourly forecasts, radar, animated skies, and widgets. Download on the App Store.
