Guide

Install and set up the Sondeas Global Shortcut

Add the Chrome extension, set a global keybinding, and test it in under two minutes.

Install from Chrome Web Store Jump to shortcut setup

Install

Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store and pin it for quick access.

Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click Add extension.
Pin “Sondeas Global Shortcut” in your toolbar (optional but handy).

Set your shortcut

Pick a keybinding and make it global so it works even when Chrome is not focused.

Go to (or click the Sondeas toolbar icon). If Chrome blocks this, paste the URL into the address bar.
Find “Sondeas Global Shortcut” and set your keys (default: Ctrl+Shift+Space / Command+Shift+Space).
Enable Global so it works while other apps are focused.

Test it

Make sure the shortcut toggles recording and focuses Sondeas.

If a Sondeas tab is open, press the shortcut and confirm recording starts/stops.
If no Sondeas tab is open, press the shortcut; the extension opens sondeas.com, focuses it, and toggles recording once loaded.
If nothing happens, revisit chrome://extensions/shortcuts and confirm the binding is set to Global.

FAQ

Do I need to keep Chrome open?: Yes. The shortcut works globally, but Chrome must be running.

Can I change the keys later?: Yes. Revisit chrome://extensions/shortcuts anytime to update the binding.

What if the shortcut doesn’t fire?: Confirm the shortcut is set to Global and that no other extension or app uses the same keys.
