I'm trying to switch from Firefox to Chrome, so trying to get up to speed with the interface.

I have installed some Chrome extensions such as World Clock.

To access it I have to:

  • click wrench
  • click tools
  • click extensions
  • on world clock, click "options"
  • click save"

and then I can use it.

What am I missing here, there must be an easier way.

Is there a way to just click something and have all my extensions in a dropdown, i.e. in one click?

I couldn't find this on a list of chrome hotkeys.

ok, I found a simpler way: (1) CTRL-T for new tab which shows all my apps, (2) click "world clock". – Edward Tanguay Feb 5 '11 at 10:40

If you have a browser button, right click it and hit manage extensions.

I don't think there is a way to do this natively in the Chrome browser, especially since the source you're quoting from is Google.

However, like minded individuals think alike, and someone else who was thinking like you came up with a Chrome Extension that will let you set shortcut keys, called the Shortcut Manager.

You can skip the first few steps in your process by browsing to the URL, chrome://extensions/

You could also place a bookmark for the extensions on your bookmark toolbar.

Least keypresses

ALT ; ENTER ; L ; ENTER ; E ; ENTER

Even less keypresses if you automate this with software like PhraseExpress.

Least mouse clicks

Create a bookmark to chrome://extensions/.
