A simple shortcut to like/dislike a YouTube video using predefined keys, which are numpad + and - by default. You can change the key by assigning the code value for the desired keyboard event to the variables codeLike and codeDislike as a string. You can find a list of keyboard events code values here.

Based on the script "Youtube like/dislike video and skip ad keyboard shortcuts", which doesn't work properly anymore in December 2023.

I couldn't find a good way to make it work properly with the scrolling on Shorts, so while it does works on Shorts, it targets the first one you accessed even after scrolling down.

I have a very limited knowledge of JavaScript and this is my first user script, so feel free to improve it yourself as I'm sure there's much room for that.
