Setting up the extension to use with keyboard only

After you’ve installed the extension, it’s very easy to assign a shortcut key to open it from your browser. This is how you do it.

Google Chrome

Go to the Extensions window (chrome://extensions/) and open the “Main menu”(hamburger button on the left). Go to “keyboard shortcuts”. 

In the section for the Library Access extension, you can simply type the keyboard shortcut you wish to use for your extension. It is saved immediately.

Mozilla Firefox

In Mozilla Firefox, the keyboard shortcut is Alt + L by default. To change this shortcut to one of your choice, go to the Addons window (about:addons) and open the “Tools for all add-ons” menu (options button on the upper right). Select “Manage extension shortcuts”. In the section “Library Access”, you can simply type the keyboard shortcut you wish to use for your extension. It is saved immediately.

Opera

Go to the Extensions menu (Opera Menu > Extensions or Ctrl + Shift + E) and then press “Keyboard shortcuts”. The list starts with “Basic shortcuts”, “Advanced shortcuts” and the extension shortcuts are at the bottom of the page. You can also simply type “Enable the extension” in the “Search shortcuts” field.

You can simplly type the keyboard shortcut you wish to use for your extension in the field. It is saved immediately.
