Keyboard shortcuts
TMS ships with one pre-assigned shortcut. All other commands have no default key binding and must be assigned manually.

TMS also has its own read-only copy of this list on the Keyboard shortcuts page in the sidebar, with a Change shortcuts button that jumps straight to chrome://extensions/shortcuts. Labels follow your language setting — shown here in Italian:
Dark theme:
Assigning shortcuts
- Navigate to
chrome://extensions/shortcutsin your browser. - Find The Marvellous Suspender in the list.
- Click the input field next to the command you want to assign and press your desired key combination.
tip
Chrome limits extension shortcuts to combinations using Ctrl (or Cmd on Mac) and/or Alt, plus at least one other key. Shortcuts that conflict with browser-reserved combinations cannot be assigned.
Changing the default shortcut
The Ctrl+Shift+S default for "Toggle current tab" can also be reassigned from the same chrome://extensions/shortcuts page if it conflicts with another application or extension.
