I confirm the issue with Google Chrome extension installation

Its due the Lack of Default or Linux Key for Key-Shortcuts in the Manifest.

There are several PullRequest but seems to be ignored so a quickfix:

1. Download the Repo
2. Unzip it
3. Navigate to tamper-extension -> chrome-extension -> app
4. Open manifest.json
5. Add Line "linux": "Ctrl+Shift+P" under suggested_key
   (might look like this)

"suggested_key": {
                "windows": "Ctrl+Shift+P",
                "mac": "Command+Shift+P",
        "linux": "Ctrl+Shift+P"
            },

1. Save it
2. Go in Chrome to Extension, Enable Developer Mode
3. Add unpacked extension
4. Done ;)

Thank you for this workaround for Linux , but unfortunately I still cannot start the extension. It shows a red icon and a tooltip "Error starting proxy". On the development page, tamper tab shows "Could not connect to proxy" error.

I tried to follow resolution from #23 but it appears not work for Linux. I located com.dutzi.tamper.json in /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/ and made the recommended change to point to existing tamper.py file (in my case, i.e. Fedora 23, it is located in /usr/bin/ instead of in /bin/ which was a default value) but it doesn't work with the same symptoms.

Does anybody have any luck in running Tamper extension on Linux?
