Great to hear! It would be cool to know what keybinding configurations people came up with. Its a complicated problem now with duplicates and lots of unbound keys
Not sure why, but after changing the hotkeys once, whenever I revisit LingQ, the keys are reset and the tab dissappears.
Nothing seems to work except uninstalling and reinstalling the extension, resetting keys and changing them again, each time this happens.
Edit: Actually the extension just isn’t appearing at all now, I enabled permissions but still nothing. Not sure what’s interfering in this case.
Edit2: Seems some other web extensions like ‘leechblocker’ and adblocker aren’t compatible.
The problem might be related to LingQs page navigation. They use a special navigation which doesn’t properly detect URL changes. You can try refresh the page when you are on the reader page it should show up
Update 2: Legit resetting the binds, toggling the extension off and on again, and refreshing the page* often makes the shortcuts work again, this more likely a LingQ website/coding issue in my mind—not the Rooster Hotkeys extension.
P.S. I did the above again today and the go-to-next blue LingQ shortcut randomly worked again.
*I do this when the LingQ tab may have been open on a tab/idle too long.
P.P.S. Thanks for taking the time to reply @sarjag! It helped!!

Setting spacebar to a keyboard shortcut in the rebind menu displays a blank space, it could maybe be labelled with the word “spacebar” so you know the entry went in correctly and isn’t just an unset key. I started using spacebar for play sentence audio while in sentence view and noticed that it entered a blank space when I was binding it. The key works perfectly fine though so there’s no issue with the binding itself, just the way it’s represented in the gui overlay could maybe be made more clear.
An assignable shortcut to toggle between sentence view and page view - the button in the bottom middle of the web reader.
The new toggle stats menu shortcut is surprisingly useful too, I didn’t know I wanted that until you put it in!
Note: Before the latest update, this shortcut on the Firefox extension appeared like in the below image (i.e. b for next blue Lingq), and I was having more problems getting the shortcut to work.
When I rebind the shortcut on Firefox to be the same as the Chrome image (initially how LingQ intended it), the shortcut doesn’t work in Firefox.
But if I set the Firefox extension to the shortcut shown in the Firefox image and use " b " as the shortcut (not Shift + B), the shortcut goes to the next blue LingQ as I want to. (Note: my caps lock is not on at any point). AndShift + B doesn’t seem to work.*
*This is also applicable to the Chrome extension.
Does any of this help or make sense? Anyway, I’m going to test this out for a while and see if this fixes the issue for me and allows me to avoid going through the process I detailed in one of my edits here.
P.S. Though all of this could be a weird coincidence that doesn’t help at all,
Haha, I’m blown away by the speed you update these things… not even an hour later you have the update out! It works perfectly though, just tested it.
I noticed that the “All Controls” tab in the gui is missing the shortcut for “Toggle Sentence/Page View” but it’s available under the “Advanced Controls” tab. Just a heads up - obviously not a big deal!
Is this a similar issue as the “Shift + [arrow right/left]” bindings for the Next page LingQ? Can it this issue be resolved in a similar way? Or was that like a weird special case?
Like I mentioned in an additional edit[ed] reply, I rebinded the next page to “Shift + >”, and it works fine in Rooster Hotkeys, I just wanted to check and see, if this was a similar fix that could be implemented on the next update. No worries, if not!
Clarification:
Shift + Arrow[Right/Left]
for the next page, seems to trigger the Shortcut for the Move Right/Left action:
Arrow[Right/Left]
So I rebinded the shortcuts for paging to the Next and Previous pages (in a selected lesson) to:
