## Overview
Simple open source extension that adds keyboard shortcuts to Google search™ and
other websites.
See the latest changelog in https://github.com/infokiller/web-search-navigator/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md
## Motivation
Google search™ used to provide experimental keyboard navigation, but it was
often broken (https://goo.gl/1zMkYu), and seems to have been removed as of
2017-07-31 (https://stackoverflow.com/a/45513198/1014208). In addition, I
wanted to add new keyboard shortcuts and the existing ones to be more vim like
(j/k for navigation).
## Keybindings
* `↓`/`j`: Select next search result
* `↑`/`k`: Select previous previous result
* `/`/`Escape`: Focus on input search box
* `Enter`/`Space`: Navigate to selected result
* `Ctrl+Enter`/`⌘+Enter`/`Ctrl+Space`: Open selected result in background tab
* `Ctrl+Shift+Enter`/`⌘+Shift+Enter`/`Ctrl+Shift+Space`: Open selected result in new window/tab

* `m`: Navigate to maps tab

Great！Please support the Google Scholar search result.
perfect
Works perfectly!
Amazing product. Extremely simple and very versatile. And it even works with other websites like Amazon. I wonder why this sort of thing doesn’t exist natively.
It was so awesome I ended up creating two other related extensions: youtube_kbd_nav and OGS Kbd Nav.
I just love this, would give more than 5 stars if possible, Thank you!
Awesome
works like a charm~
This is absolutely brilliant!! Just the thing I was looking for! This extension eradicates the need to use a mouse to navigate within your browser. 5 STARS!!!
Should be a feature in Google! Can’t live without it
Shortcuts for go to Images, Videos, News, Maps doesn’t work anymore!
Please fix it, this extension is a brilliant, diamond out of a pile of mud.
Great extension!
At first, it was exactly what I wanted. But ever since today, for some reason this happens: i see a blue arrow on the first search result, then i hit j, and it becomes a black arrow on the SAME search result, then i hit j, and then it becomes a blue arrow on the second search result. so you have to hit the down arrow/j twice for each search result, which is kind of annoying. I tried resetting settings to default and restarting chrome, but this still happens. edit: totally fixed.
as for the settings themselves, they don’t save even if i hit save. the only ones that do happen to save are the experimental settings (such as enabling it on youtube). edit: the default “next search result” keybinding is k, but vim users would prefer j. the default “previous search result” keybinding is i, but we’d prefer k here. problem is, i can’t save my keybinding settings for some reason. when i click the save button, literally nothing happens.
EDIT: everything above was promptly fixed, thank you so much! I’m glad I wrote this review. This tool is PERFECT. it does exactly what you want, 100% of the time. I wish I could give this 6 stars. better than other related extensions.
after this update navigator don’t move one by one
when i send down arrow twice, it move down
each url or card has two space for move
Great extension when working correctly. Recently I stopped being able to type certain letters into the google search bar, though. I believe it’s all the same letters as the shortcuts for this extension. I’m guessing some Chrome update broke the extension, hoping it’s fixed quick! Thanks for the great software!
Simply awesome! can’t recommend enough
It’s really simple to use and great but I’m missing one feature: It can’t select “subresults” from the same domain (like for example stackoverflow). As a workaround I navigate to the parent result and then tab my way to the subresult. But that breaks the flow since I have to switch keys and I also have to go over the dropdown arrow every time. Would be great if you could add this some time!
Really well done. thanks a lot
Absolutely essential extension, now working better than ever. Should really have millions of more users.
Does exactly what I wanted
Really liked this. Simple, but solves a problem. No config required.
It’s lightweight and works smoothly!
Great extension!, but i would be better if it can select chrome featured snippets (first search that is inside a box).
This is one of the little things that makes my world a better place, love it 🙂
God it’s useful
Exactly what I was looking for
