StickyTube - YouTube™ Workspace: Sidebar, Queue & Search

Search YouTube™, manage your queue & read comments beside your video — without pausing or switching tabs.

You're watching a tutorial. Someone in the comments mentions a better video. Normally you'd open a new tab, lose your context, or pause everything to search. With StickyTube, you just search in the sidebar. Your video keeps playing. That's the whole idea. ────────────────────────────── 🎛️ DUAL-COLUMN WORKSPACE ────────────────────────────── StickyTube splits your YouTube watch page into two columns: your video on the left, everything else on the right. Drag the splitter to any width you like, or double-click it to cycle between Standard (68%), Wide (82%), and Half-and-Half (50%). ────────────────────────────── 🔍 SEARCH WITHOUT LEAVING ────────────────────────────── Press "/" or type in YouTube's search bar and hit Enter. Results stream into the sidebar — your video never pauses, the page never reloads. This alone changes how you use YouTube. • Live autocomplete suggestions as you type • Infinite scroll — results keep loading as you go • Shift + Enter for a full-page search when you need it ────────────────────────────── 💬 COMMENTS BESIDE YOUR VIDEO ────────────────────────────── Watch full-width video and read the full comment section at the same time — live-stream style. No scrolling down, no losing sight of the player. Comments live in a dedicated sidebar tab, cleanly separated from the video stage. ────────────────────────────── ⏱️ PLAYBACK QUEUE (YOUR QUEUE, NOT YOUTUBE'S) ────────────────────────────── YouTube's autoplay picks the next video for you. StickyTube lets you pick. • Shift + Click any card to add it to your queue instantly • Alt + Q to queue the video currently playing • Reorder items your way: drag and drop with clear visual drop cues, or use one-click ▲/▼ and ⤊ Top buttons • Keyboard shortcuts (Alt+↑ / Alt+↓) to reorder without lifting your hands from the keys • Videos auto-advance seamlessly when playback ends — no algorithm, no countdown screen ────────────────────────────── 📌 SAVE FOR LATER (CLOSE THE TABS) ────────────────────────────── Stop opening 11 background tabs you'll never get to. Click ★ Save on any card and it goes into your Saved list. Watch it now, queue it, or clear it — your call. ────────────────────────────── 🖱️ DRAG-TO-PLAY ────────────────────────────── Grab any video card from anywhere on the page — search results, suggestions, queue — and drop it on the player. It plays instantly, updating the title, URL, and channel info in place. No new tab. No reload. ────────────────────────────── 📑 PLAYLIST SIDEBAR ────────────────────────────── Watching a playlist? StickyTube automatically detects it and isolates the playlist into its own sidebar tab. Switch to a standalone video and it cleanly disappears. Zero manual management. ────────────────────────────── ⌨️ KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ────────────────────────────── / .............. Focus search Enter .......... Search in sidebar (keep playing) Shift+Enter .... Full page search Shift+Click .... Queue any video Alt+Q .......... Queue current video Alt+↑ / Alt+↓ .. Reorder queue item Alt+Home .......

Zero analytics. Zero external servers. Everything — your queue, your saved list, your layout — lives in your browser and never leaves it. ────────────────────────────── HOW TO GET STARTED ────────────────────────────── 1. Install StickyTube and open any YouTube video. 2. Watch the page transform into a two-column workspace. 3. Press "/" and type a search — your video stays playing. 4. That's your aha moment. Everything else clicks after that. ────────────────────────────── YouTube™ is a trademark of Google LLC. StickyTube is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google LLC.
