🚀 **Take back control of YouTube Shorts.**
YouTube Shorts provides a fast way to watch short-form videos, but some useful controls are missing. **Fix YT Shorts** adds practical controls that make Shorts easier to watch, navigate, and control — while keeping the experience close to YouTube's native interface.
## ✨ Features
### 🔁 Hands-Free Auto-Scroll
Enable **Auto-Scroll** directly from the Shorts player. When a Short finishes, the extension automatically moves to the next one — perfect for hands-free viewing.
### ⚡ Playback Speed Controls
Change Shorts playback speed using your keyboard.
**`>` / `<`** — Increase or decrease playback speed
Supports **0.25× to 2×** playback speed with on-screen feedback.
### 🎧 Audio Track Navigator
Quickly access YouTube's audio track selection menu with:
**`A` (Not case sensitive)** — Open or cycle audio tracks
When the menu is open, use **`↑` / `↓`**, **Enter/Space**, or **`1–9`** to navigate and select tracks.
Works with supported YouTube videos and Shorts that provide multiple audio tracks.
### ⏩ Shorts Seeker
Finally, seek through YouTube Shorts using your keyboard.
**`←` / `→`** — Seek backward or forward
Choose your preferred seek duration from the extension popup. Select from **1–30 seconds**, with quick options for **2s, 5s, 10s, and 15s**.
A visual indicator shows the seek action directly on the player.
### 🔄 Convert Shorts to Regular Video
Prefer YouTube's standard video player?
Convert a Short to its regular YouTube video format with the on-screen **Convert** button or:
**Windows/Linux:** `Ctrl + Shift + F`
**Mac:** `Command + Shift + F`
### 💬 Caption Controls
Control captions on Shorts using your keyboard.
**`C` (Not case sensitive)** — Toggle or navigate caption options
Caption menus support keyboard navigation with **`↑` / `↓`**, **Enter/Space**, and **`1–9`**.
