Keyboard Shortcuts

Control your Heyweek timer without touching the mouse.

Overview

The extension ships with a small set of keyboard shortcuts so you can open the popup and start or stop the timer hands-free. These are the real defaults defined by the extension — you can change any of them on Chrome's extension-shortcuts page.

Default shortcuts

NOTE

Ctrl+Shift+S toggles the timer directly — you don't need to open the popup first. The pause/resume shortcut is reserved by the extension; you can also pause and resume from the popup itself.

Customizing shortcuts

Chrome manages extension shortcuts in one place:

1. Go to chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
2. Find Heyweek Time in the list.
3. Click the pencil/edit icon next to the action you want to change.
4. Press your desired key combination.
5. Your choice is saved automatically.

If a default shortcut conflicts with another extension or a system shortcut, this is also where you'll resolve it — assign Heyweek a different combination, or clear the conflicting one.

TIP

If a shortcut "doesn't work", it's almost always a conflict. Open chrome://extensions/shortcuts and check whether the same combination is assigned elsewhere.

Platform notes

• On macOS, the open-popup shortcut uses Cmd instead of Ctrl.
• The start/stop and pause/resume shortcuts use Ctrl+Shift by default on every platform; you can rebind them per platform on the shortcuts page above.
