Some sites may assign other functionality to same shortcut keys — these collisions are inevitable, unfortunately. As a workaround, we listen both for lower and upper case values (i.e. you can use `Shift-<shortcut>`) if there is other functionality assigned to the lowercase key. This is not a perfect solution, as some sites may listen to both, but works most of the time. You can customize and reassign the default shortcut keys in the extensions settings page, as well as add additional shortcut keys to match your preferences. For example, you can assign multiple different "preferred speed" shortcuts with different values, which will allow you to quickly toggle between your most commonly used speeds. To add a new shortcut, open extension settings and click "Add New".
_Note: you can customize these shortcut keys in the extension settings page and even make the extension remember your current playback speed._
For example, you could add a new short cut key, to add a key that toggle the video speed between 16x and it's previous speed by clicking the **Add New** button and selecting the **'Preferred speed'** In this image below the A key was used.

**The video controls are not showing up?** This extension is only compatible with HTML5 video. If you don't see the controls showing up, chances are you are viewing a Flash video.
