how can i use it?, i download the extension and activate it on but when i'm going in full screen mode. i cannot any sign to type the URL

Very nice. The launcher is just what I was looking for - it can open both urls and google searches if the query is not a url. But it's not a good tab switcher extension. It allows to almost never quit fullscreen mode )).
