Summary

Analyze keywords

kbwarrior is a simple Chrome extension for people who like the idea of keyboard (or vim)-based web browsing, but for whom the existing extensions that provide such functionality either do too much or too little for their liking.

I aim to keep this simple, and am still not sure about the final feature set. For now though, this is what kbwarrior does:

Page navigation

j to scroll down a line
k to scroll up a line
h to scroll left (if applicable)
l to scroll right (if applicable)
u to scroll up half a page
d to scroll down half a page
g to scroll all the way up
G to scroll all the way down
backspace to go back in history (thanks a lot to Google by the way for generously removing that for us!)

User reviews

■とても使い勝手が良い。 vimumとは以下の点で異なるが、それが個人的に好みにつながっている。　・j押しっぱなしの挙動が異なる　・fを2回押したときにページ遷移しない ■以下を実装できれば最高です。　・ショートカットキーの例外となるURLを設定できること Google search系のショートカット (※) と競合させたくないためです。 ※「Google検索キーボードショートカット」 ----------------- It gives me the best experience when I browse pages. I don't need to touch mouse anymore. That pressing 'f' twice doesn't move another page makes me even happier! If the developer can implement an exception rule that make this extension not working for certain URLs, it would be perfect. This new feature will prevent this extension from conflicting other extensions that provides shortcut keys for google search results! I love 'Google検索キーボードショートカット', too.

As a vim-fan I can't believe there was a time I browsed the internet without this! 5 Stars!
