Overview

Better keyboard control, a dark mode, and more for the NY Times Crossword.

* Hold shift to use pencil temporarily, double tap to switch.
- Alternatively, you can use Caps Lock to switch (activate from control panel).

* Use shortcut Alt-P (Option-P) to pause/unpause the timer.

* Activate dark mode from the puzzle's control panel (gear icon). Preserves yellow and blue highlights, and keeps shaded squares visible, while saving your eyes.

* Activate red pencil from the control panel, to make pencil stand out.

PLUS (starting with version 1.4.0) an optional dark mode toggle for many of the other NY Times games. You can activate it from the extension's options or preferences page in your browser.
