Greasy Fork

This script is incredible! Before this, I had to either download YouTube videos and use PotPlayer to zoom/pan on my PC or switch to my phone. Both were incredibly annoying. I’ve been wishing for something like this forever, and finally, it’s here. I truly appreciate the effort that went into creating it.

By the way, I can’t seem to open the configuration in Tampermonkey. Any idea?

Thanks for letting me know you appreciate it, means a lot!

On a YouTube vid page, open up your browser developer tools and enter this into your console:

document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {code: 'KeyX'}));
document.dispatchEvent(new KeyboardEvent('keydown', {code: 'AltLeft'}));

That should open a config menu for you. From there you can change the "Configure" keybind. Hopefully that will get it working

Hey, sorry for getting back to you so late! I finally had a chance to give this a proper go today. I even set up a totally fresh browser profile with just Tampermonkey, just to make sure nothing else was interfering. But yeah, still no luck. The config menu just won't pop up whether I use the shortcut or the console commands you gave me. The weird thing is, it seems like something happens, 'cause after trying the shortcut, I can't even click anywhere on the YouTube screen anymore. Makes me really wonder if the menu's opening up hidden somewhere and blocking everything?

Damn. I'd really love to know why that's happening. No doubt it's happening for other people as well. Would you be willing to do a screen share over Teams or Discord or something to help me figure it out?

Hey ctl2,

Loving the script as always! I just ran into an issue with YouTube’s new UI.

Now the suggested videos grid slides up from the bottom in full-screen when you scroll down, which messes with the zoom feature. Has your YouTube "upgraded" to this new UI too? If so, it’d be awesome if the script could be tweaked so the recommended panel doesn’t appear when zooming out with Z + Scroll Down.

I’m also still not seeing the config option. For now, I just edit or disable the shortcut manually in the script, since pressing Left Alt + X blocks some YouTube UI functions. I also realized I hadn’t shared my browser before — I’m on Firefox with Tampermonkey (Chrome with Tampermonkey works fine!), so that might explain why the config window won’t open.

If you can’t reproduce the issue on Firefox, I’d be happy to do a screen share to show what’s happening.

Thanks a ton!

Hey! Thanks for letting me know, somehow I hadn't noticed. Made a quick fix, hopefully it won't break anything.

I guess you'll have make that edit again since the update will overwrite it. I'll take a look and see if I can reproduce the config thing tomorrow (it's 1AM for me 😵)

I think I've fixed your config issue! I only ever tested in Violentmonkey for Firefox, not Tampermonkey. Good to know that they're different
