    Shorts are normal videos too, so you can view them in the normal player. I have a redirect rule that redirects https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=

    You can define a keyword for this, eg. ctrl+l - `ks` (kill sticky) - enter. It has some backwards because you still can't search by name and you have to remember the keyword and th…
