I've been using the Kill-Sticky Chrome extension for years: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kill-sticky/lekjlgffkaencjnlcmbgibodhechofdb?hl=en https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kill-sticky/lekjlgf... Because it has a configurable keyboard shortcut. Can't imagine browsing the web without it. At this point hitting Cmd+K when I visit an article is pure reflex. A bookmarklet would be more secure, but I don't know of a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to one.

You can add a Chrome site shortcut whose URL is a bookmarklet, so it will run the bookmarklet when you type "bm" in the address bar (for example). Taking it even further so it will run with just one keystroke, on my Mac I used Karabiner to run a terminal script that types the bookmarklet in the address bar for me: tell application "System Events" keystroke "l" using {command down} -- Select the address bar (Cmd+L) keystroke "bm" -- Type "bm" delay 0.2 # Let Chrome recognize the site shortcut keystroke return -- Press Enter end tell In my script I open a new Chrome window before this because the bookmarklet submits a nag screen from my job, but for stickies you could have it just switch back to the window you're reading instead.

Chrome bookmarks also show up as items in the Bookmarks menu, which means you can use the built-in macOS functionality to assign your own custom keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences → Keyboard.

> more secure interesting. that extension's Support section has a link to https://github.com/eemeli/chrome-kill-sticky https://github.com/eemeli/chrome-kill-sticky whose license is MIT, so you could make your own extension. That repo also has a newer version of the code, and that was deployed on the Firefox store, but not on the Chrome store.
