Sharpener
Summary: Sharpener is a third-party Burp Suite extension by Soroush Dalili, at version 4.92 and last updated 28 July 2026, that adds UI and functional features to Burp, including configurable keyboard shortcuts that work anywhere in the tool. Shortcuts must use Ctrl, Alt, or a function key because they remain active while typing in the editor, and Burp's own hotkeys and basic editing keys such as Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V cannot be assigned.
Bottom line: PortSwigger states it makes no warranty about the quality or usefulness of third-party extensions, so the tooling your testers load into Burp carries that risk regardless of its popularity rating or its low estimated system impact.
