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:
Copy of my Review of the extension through Firefox (Feel free to link it in your testimonials, if it’s helpful!):
This extension works great! It allows me to not only:
1.) See a list of the key combinations that LingQ uses all in one place;
2.) Rebind key combinations to combinations that are more convenient for me; but also
3.) Bind other key combinations than just the default combinations LingQ uses.
The hotkeys are also presented in an organized popup that is easy to follow since Rooster offers a lot of key combinations. I love this add-on and that the developer makes frequent and quick updates to the extension when needed. It’s also free! I’ll definitely continue to use this extension.
Thanks for a great add-on! It really improves the usability of key shortcuts with LingQ!
Note: Modified (from original) for skimability in the LingQ Forum.
Is it possible to have a keybinding to copy a whole sentence (that is displayed) in sentence mode?
Currently, I have to copy a whole line of text (sentence) in sentence mode by:
Clicking Edit Sentence and highlight/copy/paste from there to an outside source.
Highlighting the whole sentence manually in sentence mode, waiting for the LingQ “To create a phrase LingQ, please select up to 9 words from the same sentence.” popup to appear (which doesn’t always appear consistently for me), highlighting the sentence, and copying/pasting it into an outside source.
Highlighting the whole sentence manually in sentence mode, doing a copy shortcut, and reformating the spaces when I paste it into the outside source since it pastes without spaces.
No worries if this is super obscure and you don’t think it would be a helpful addition; I just thought it would help when using DeepL, Papago, Mirinae, or any other outside translator/resource on a whole sentence without having to do all the extra manual work to work with an entire sentence, while studying in sentence mode.
Ye, this is an annoying bug. Same with not being able to open the phrase you just LingQed without opening a different LingQ first.

Hey @roosterburton, I’m not sure if you are still developing this or not but in the last few days there’s been a few issues. I’ve been noticing that certain keybinds are now causing all shortcuts to stop working. Some examples:
I use j and k to move up and down on the definition list, now if I press k it completely locks up all keyboard shortcuts and I have to refresh the page to get them to work again.
I use spacebar to choose the definition that is selected and it doesn’t do anything at all now. I tried resetting all the binds and rebinding everything but the same issues are happening. I think it has to do with the original binds that are set are still active even after rebind the keys or something…
I use asdfg to rate from 1-4 + known and asfg all work, but d doesn’t and it prompts bringing up the dictionary (the default bind of d I think). I’m wondering if this is due to an update/change on LingQ’s side which has maybe caused the addon to start acting weird?
Just wanted to let you know! I use this addon every day and it’s a huge part of my workflow, it’s still such an awesome addon.
Interesting that with the addon disabled the process works as expected. What I’m going to do is prevent the custom LingQ action and do the process of up/down/select manually. Should have a patch out today.
Edit: Just pushed a fix to Firefox / Chrome stores, will be in the next ML update
@roosterburton - Thanks so much for the fix, all of my custom hotkeys are working perfectly again! It’s much appreciated. Thanks for fixing it so quickly too!
Rebinding made easy: Click “Re-bind”, press your keys, done. If a combo is already used somewhere else, it’s auto-unbound to avoid conflicts.
Import/Export: Save your setup to keybindings.json and share it; import to restore on another browser.
Kill switch: Need the page’s native keys back? Hit Disable (with a confirm). A small red dot on the nav button shows it’s off. Click the button again to re-enable.
Smart behavior:
If you remove or remap a LingQ default, the script quietly blocks LingQ’s old shortcut so you don’t get double-actions.
Multi action binds are allowed. (e.g. Shift+Alt+F)
Sentence Editor helpers: Extra keys to nudge start/end, play/pause, copy previous end, toggle text/translation/note editing, and more.
Sentence Controls mini-tool: Optional floating tool to jump sentence-by-sentence, auto-scroll on a timer, preview translations, set a LingQ bookmark, and even auto-play just that sentence’s audio segment.
Quick start
Open any Reader page on LingQ.
Click Rooster Hotkeys (keyboard icon) in the top nav—or press Shift + ~.
Rebind whatever you like, or hit Reset to go back to defaults.
Use Export to save your layout, Import to load it later.
Wasn’t able to replicate this. Tried a few things including Firefox/Chrome browser and also on lessons with sentences within paragraphs. Is this a problem for all lessons or can you give me an example of a broken one?
I can’t figure out what causes it or how to replicate it.
Sometime it seems to work correctly. it also affects other lessons… randomly.
Here is a video it seems like it doesn’t update the text for some reason but upon clicking to edit the text it is updated. Seems more like display thing.
