Press ;s. Not sure if this is a permanent toggle though.

Yes, it is a permanent toggle.

Your setting will be persisted in to storage.

Could you please recommend another way to disable the pdf viewer?

This keyboard shortcut does not work with my current setup.

Thanks

I'd also like to know how to permanently disable the PDF viewer from Surfingkeys config. ;s does not seem to be persistent.

The viewer built into Surfingkeys doesn't have an option to save the opened PDF, which is handy in Chrome's built-in viewer.

To make sure it’s always disabled, I believe you can add the following line to your config:

chrome.storage.local.set({"noPdfViewer": 1})

I haven’t tested this, though.

For what it’s worth, I managed to fix my problem by uninstalling then reinstalling the plugin. I guess some auto update caused some kind of corruption and behavior change. Maybe something to try out?

@b0o This works, indeed! Thank you 🙏

How can I reenable it?

@b0o Is this still valid?

chrome.storage.local.set({"noPdfViewer": 1})

I get the following error: "[SurfingKeys] Error found in settings: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'local')"
