Objective

This article explains how to set up a keyboard shortcut for the PSOhub Chrome Extension so you can open the time tracker directly from your keyboard without clicking through the browser toolbar.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites

✅ The PSOhub Time Tracker Extension must already be installed in Google Chrome.

✅ You must have Google Chrome open on your device.

Steps

  1. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner of Google Chrome.
  2. Select Extensions, then click Manage Extensions.
  3. On the Extensions page, click Keyboard shortcuts in the left sidebar.
  4. Find the PSOhub Time Tracker Extension in the list. In the Activate the extension field, click the Edit (pencil) icon.
  5. Press the key combination you want to use. The shortcut must include Ctrl or Alt, for example, Ctrl + E.
  6. Close the Extensions settings tab.
  7. Open PSOhub and test that your shortcut opens the time tracker extension correctly.

Result

Your keyboard shortcut is now configured. You can open the PSOhub Time Tracker Chrome Extension at any time by pressing your chosen key combination while PSOhub is open in your browser.

Troubleshooting

The shortcut does not work.
Confirm that the key combination you entered includes either Ctrl or Alt. Chrome requires one of these modifier keys. Also check that no other extension or application is using the same shortcut.

The shortcut opens a different extension.
Another installed extension may already be assigned to that key combination. Return to Keyboard shortcuts in Chrome Extensions and choose a different combination for the PSOhub Time Tracker.

The Edit button is grayed out.
This can happen if the extension is disabled. Go to Manage Extensions, confirm the PSOhub Time Tracker Extension is toggled on, then return to Keyboard shortcuts and try again.

FAQs

Can I use the same shortcut in Firefox or Edge?
Yes, but shortcuts must be configured separately in each browser. The PSOhub Time Tracker Extension supports Google Chrome. If you use another Chromium-based browser, the configuration steps are similar, but navigation paths may differ slightly.

How many extensions can I assign shortcuts to?
Chrome allows keyboard shortcuts for multiple extensions. If a conflict exists, Chrome will not warn you, the shortcut will simply trigger whichever extension was assigned to it most recently.

Can I remove a shortcut after setting it?
Yes. Return to Manage Extensions > Keyboard shortcuts, click the Edit icon for the PSOhub Time Tracker, and press Delete or Backspace to clear the shortcut.
