TimeTags for YouTube

About

TimeTags for Youtube is a tool designed to simplify the task of tagging specific moments in YouTube videos. Say goodbye to manually writing timestamps in a separate text editor. With yt-timetag, you can conveniently add and adjust tags within the YouTube interface using your keyboard. The extension provides precise and accurate timestamps, enhancing your experience when tagging longer videos.

# Usage

Browse to any YouTube video, click the icon of the extension in browser bar to activate it.

## Shortcuts

- [delete, backspace] remove tag (affects active tag)
- [left] backward 5 seconds (affects active tag)
- [alt+left] backward 1 second (affects active tag)
- [right] forward 5 seconds (affects active tag)
- [alt+right] forward 1 second (affects active tag)
- [space] play/pause
- [a] add a tag at current time
- [d] edit the description of active tag
- [esc] cancel active tag

Shortcuts won't work when YouTube's bulit-in shortcuts is active (which means your focus is currently on the video element).
