Extension summary
This is an extension that lets you assign hotkeys to arbitrary actions, which are just javascript code snippets (Coffeescript coming soon). The extension provides an API (small but evolving) which includes functions for tab management, opening bookmarks, launching bookmarklets, page scrolling etc., and also jQuery is available along with the whole DOM of the page. So, you can assign a hotkey to a particular page (with url filters) that can use jQuery to say, change the font size, or click on a link, or submit a form.. almost anything you can do with javascript+jQuery.
I built this because I couldn't find an extension that let me assign a simple damn javascript fragment to a hotkey, especially with jQuery :)
This is in beta stage, as such it may break sometimes and until I can give a 1.0 version to it, I won't promise any stability. So please test it out and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. However trivial it may be, I want to hear it :) (way to contact is in the options page).
Oh, and you should follow me on twitter, http://twitter.com/sharat87, to get updates about this extension. Also, you may find the source for this project at https://bitbucket.org/sharat87/keyboard-fu distributed with MIT license. The source is also mirrored on github for git access at https://github.com/sharat87/keyboard-fu, although it usually lags behind.
Note that I don't check the reviews here very often, so you may wish to notify me over twitter or email. Thanks.
