Less background work
Recurring position and zoom checks were removed. Automatic panel opening waits for browser idle time, and page observers run only while the floating panel is open.
What FloatingActions Can Save
One-Click Cloning
Use the + mode to save buttons, links, submits, role buttons, and clickable page actions into your personal panel.
Form Control Cloning
Save the current state of selects, multiple selects, checkboxes, radio options, text-like inputs, and text areas.
REC Workflow Recording
Use rec Auto for quick field changes plus one final action, or rec Manual to record multiple page actions in order.
Smart Action Replay
Replay saved clicks, form states, submits, multi-step flows, and many ASP.NET WebForms postback actions.
Physical Keyboard Shortcuts
Assign a physical key to each saved item. Top-row and numpad keys stay distinct, and shortcuts only run when their target exists on the current page.
Mouse Shortcuts
Assign the middle, back, or forward mouse button to a saved action. The page's normal mouse behavior is preserved when the panel is closed or the target is unavailable.
Dynamic Target Detection
Saved actions appear when their page elements become available—even after a page adds or updates them. Open Shadow Roots and accessible same-origin frames are supported.
Contextual Button Visibility
Show saved actions only when their target is on the current page, or show every action saved for that website. Regenerated IDs and classes can be recovered when the target still matches.
Rename and Manage
Assign or remove a shortcut with the keyboard control, rename items with the small r control, and import or export your configuration as JSON.
Floating or Side Panel
Choose a draggable floating window or Chrome's native side panel. The floating window has high stacking priority over ordinary page content; both views share saved actions.
Per-Domain Persistence
Each website keeps its own saved actions, recorded flows, keyboard assignments, panel position, size, visibility, and preferences.
Customizable Panel
Switch between light and dark themes, adjust transparency, resize the floating window, and keep logs configurable.
What's New in 3.8.4
Faster dynamic updates
Relevant page changes are grouped, saved settings are reused, and unchanged action lists are left untouched. The panel's styles stay isolated in its Shadow DOM.
More resilient target recovery
When a page recreates a control with a different ID or class, Floating Actions can still find a unique matching target using its tag, text, and page context.
Shortcuts that match your keyboard
FloatingActions uses each key's physical identity, so a shortcut remains predictable across layouts and NumLock states.
Digit1 top-row 1
Numpad1 numeric keypad 1
F1 function key
ArrowUp navigation
Shortcuts are ignored while you edit a field and do not use Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Meta combinations. Existing legacy shortcut settings remain compatible.
Get Started in 5 Simple Steps
