2 The commands API allows you to add keyboard shortcuts that trigger actions in | |
3 your extension. An action can be opening the browser action or page action popup | |
4 or sending a command to the extension. | |

9 In addition to the "experimental" permission you must declare the "commands" | |
10 permission in your extension's manifest to use this API and set manifest_version | |
11 to (at least) 2. | |

25 <p>The commands API allows you to define specific commands, and bind them to a | |
26 default key combination. Each command your extension accepts must be listed in | |
27 the manifest as an attribute of the 'commands' manifest key. Note: Combinations | |
28 that involve Ctrl+Alt are not permitted in order to avoid conflicts with the | |
29 AltGr key.</p> | |

61 <p>In your background page, you can bind a handler to each of the commands | |
62 defined in the manifest (except for '_execute_browser_action' and | |
63 '_execute_page_action') via onCommand.addListener. For example:</p> | |
64 | |
65 <pre> | |
66 chrome.experimental.commands.onCommand.addListener(function(command) { | |
67 console.log('Command:', command); | |
68 }); | |
69 </pre> | |
70 | |
71 <p>The '_execute_browser_action' and '_execute_page_action' commands are | |
72 reserved for the action of opening your extension's popups. They won't normally | |
73 generate events that you can handle. If you need to take action based on your | |
74 popup opening, consider listening for an 'onDomReady' event inside your popup's | |
75 code. | |
