About Ctrl+Z for YouTube Progress Bar

Have you ever lost your spot in a long YouTube video because of an accidental click? It happens to everyone. You try to pause, adjust the volume, or switch tabs, and suddenly you skip 20 minutes ahead or restart the video. Finding your exact timestamp manually is frustrating and breaks your focus. Ctrl+Z for YouTube™ is the simple, powerful utility that solves this problem forever. It brings the universal "Undo" command to the YouTube video player. 🚀 How it works: This extension continuously monitors your playback position in real-time. If you—or your cat—accidentally click the timeline or trigger a seek command, simply press Ctrl + Z (or Cmd + Z on Mac). You will instantly be transported back to the exact second you were at before the mistake. ✨ Key Features: Instant Undo: Remembers your precise location (currentTime) before any sudden jump. Smart & Robust: Works seamlessly even when navigating between videos without refreshing the page (SPA support). Typing Safety: Intelligent detection prevents the extension from triggering while you are typing comments, searching, or editing text. Visual Feedback: A sleek, unobtrusive toast notification confirms when your position has been restored. Universal Compatibility: Automatically adapts to your keyboard layout (QWERTY, AZERTY, etc.). Privacy First: This extension does not collect any user data, browsing history, or personal information. It runs locally on your browser. 🔧 How to use: Install the extension. Watch any video on YouTube. If a missclick happens, press Ctrl + Z. Continue watching as if nothing happened! You can easily enable or disable the functionality at any time using the extension icon in your toolbar. Save your sanity and never lose your place again.
