How to use shortcuts

Toggle Shortcut

Quickly activate or deactivate the grey cover using the shortcut `Ctrl + Shift + Y` or `Cmd + Shift + Y`.

 

If you are visiting a page that already has a dark mode, you can easily disable the extension using the shortcut to avoid double darkening the screen. For bright pages, activate the extension to reduce brightness and protect your eyes using the shortcut.
