TimeTags for YouTube

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).
