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 event code values here.

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

It also works on Shorts, but it does so by refreshing the page each time you scroll down, so if you don't want this behavior revert back to 1.8 where the first accessed Short was always targeted regardless of the current one.

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.
