Extension Usage Instructions

                        Does YouTube™ leave the video controls visible for longer than you like? Do you want to have a hotkey that toggles the controls?

This add-on let's you:
- Hide the video controls when you move the cursor to any border
- Hide the video controls and only show them when you want.
- Toggle the controls when you press a hotkey
- Hide some video overlays
- Hide the play/pause animation

In the add-on settings you can configure the individual sides as well as the hotkey.

If you experience any issues, please let me know at https://github.com/nralbrecht/youtube-hide-controls/issues

Note: The add-on currently does not work with embedded YouTube™ players.
