Is it possible to create an action that would trigger this popup?

Are you referring to the button in the toolbar?

You can press ALT to focus the 3-dots menu, then you can press Left Arrow 4 times to focus the proper button and then press ENTER.

Action was made via Synthesize Input.

Working perfectly until I add another button to the toolbar. I'm hoping to find a true keyboard shortcut that's dedicated for this. Overall, I am extremely pleased!

Extension buttons are always added to the left of the "puzzle piece" button, so the media control button should always be in the same position.

I found that AC is a more powerful tool. I created a menu that shows all my youtube tabs. I need help taking it a step further.

I want to right click on a tab on the menu and activate Pip on that tab.

I can't figure out the commands, triggers, or actions. Please help

Are you referring to the "Miniplayer" functionality in Youtube?

The shortcut for that feature is the letter "i". So, you can use the SYNTHESIZE INPUT action as follows:

I ran into an issue. Unfortunately "I" activates mini player, which keeps the video in that current window.

I need the video to be able to enter "always on top mode", bc I'm browsing other windows.

I downloaded Picture in Picture by Google Extension and this causes the video to appear as "always on top." The keyboard command is Alt+P.

However, my right click trigger isn't working. I tried modifying yours, but no go.

Got it to work but only with Middle click to activate. Right click doesn't work for some reason. Happened to know why?

I used Alt+tab to end the Action. How do I return to previous tab using AC?

Try using the configuration in the attached file.

Here's a preview of what's inside.

If the right click doesn't work or if it's not always reliable, you can add a "WAIT" action before and after the "SYNTHESIZE INPUT" action.

Remember to load the file in a separate browser profile, otherwise you will lose your settings.

Right click on menu item actives PiP extension.dat

Works! So much easier than what I came up with. I need to learn Favorites more

Thanks
