someone's suggestion in a different post to download the Chrome extension 'Shortkeys'

That may have been in this comment:

Get Keyboard Maestro to open a Chrome Extension

The easiest way is to use a keyboard shortcut that has been assigned to the Chrome extension. Many extensions provide a setting for shortcut key. If yours does not, then there is a Chrome extension that lets you assign shortcuts to any extension. I think it is called "Shortkeys". then use the KM Type a Keystroke action.

Based on that, I discovered that the extension that I am trying to automate could indeed have a shortcut set. Here's what I did:

1. Click on the Extensions icon,
   
   That opened a dropdown menu.
2. Click on Manage Extensions:
   
   That opened the page chrome://extensions/. You could go there directly, I presume.
3. Click on Keyboard Shortcuts:
   
   That opens a list of extensions.
4. Find my extension in the list and click the pencil/Edit icon:
   
5. Type my shortcut key combination, which appears to have to be a letter with an opional Shift and at most one of ⌘, ⌃, ⌥.
