Bug Report

Description

After updating the extension, all previously-configured keyboard shortcuts stop working. Shortcuts need to be re-set to function again.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Set custom keyboard shortcuts in extension settings
  2. Update the extension to a new version
  3. Try using the shortcuts on any YouTube page
  4. Observe shortcuts do not work
Expected behavior

Shortcuts should persist across extension updates.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue: configure keyboard shortcuts in the extension settings, update the extension, and test them on a YouTube page. Trace how shortcut settings are persisted across updates; done means previously configured shortcuts continue working after an update without being reset.
