About YouTube Like Shortcut
Press 'L' — or any key you choose — to like the current YouTube video or Short. No mouse. No interruptions.
Like without breaking your flow
Whether you're scrolling through Shorts or watching a regular video, one keystroke is all it takes. The extension detects the active video automatically and clicks the like button for you.
Key features:
- Works on both Shorts and standard YouTube videos
- Fully configurable shortcut — change the key, add modifiers (Ctrl, Shift, Alt)
- Smart typing guard — the shortcut won't fire while you're commenting or searching
- Visual feedback — optional floating heart or thumbs-up animation on the video
- Sound feedback — subtle pop sound when you like
- Shorts-only mode — restrict the shortcut to Shorts if you prefer
- Privacy first — zero data collection, zero tracking. It only clicks the button for you.
- Available in 15 languages
How it works
Install the extension, open any YouTube video or Short, and press 'L'. That's it. You can change the key anytime from the extension popup — just click the input and press the new key.
