What’s new in version 1.2?

                Picture-in-Picture Shortcut adds a keyboard shortcut for switching video players to the Picture-in-Picture mode in modern web browsers. Chrome has a built-in Picture-in-Picture button in the media controls, but isn't always available and requires multiple mouse clicks.

The default shortcut is Ctrl+Period (Command+Period on Mac), but it can be changed from the browser settings. Clicking the Picture-in-Picture Shortcut extension button also toggles PiP mode.

Picture-in-Picture Shortcut also overrides sites that don't normally allow Picture-in-Picture mode, and attempts to add a play/pause button to the PiP popup. However, this may not always work for sites and players not originally built for PiP mode.

This extension is open-source under the GPLv3 license, the code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/corbindavenport/pip-shortcut

Works well. There's also the extension: [ wipeyy - Controllable "picture in picture". ] In addition to setting a keyboard shortcut to toggle PiP, this extension also allows you to set another 3 keyboard shortcuts to toggle play/pause, and to skip forward / back 10 seconds, which even work outside of Chrome (if you individually set the keyboard shortcuts to "Global" rather than "In Chrome" in "chrome://extensions/shortcuts").
