| 2024-10-27 |  | | ru | то что нужно спасибо герой. |
| 2021-10-30 |  | | en | I don't get it. Chrome already does all of the things that are described here (i.e. F7 to turn on caret browsing). Installing this extension does not appear to have any effect. What gives? |
| 2021-07-23 |  | | en | I didn't ask for it, didn't need it. ANd now, it has overwritten ALL of my function keys. Can't change volume, mute, or turn up/down brightness with those keys, as they turn the extention on again. Remove from system. Forced me to install just to write this.... |
| 2021-06-14 |  | | en | It didnt allow you to use volume keys anymore, awful |
| 2021-06-05 |  | | en | Thanks to this I now cant turn my volume up. Thanks google. |
| 2021-05-27 |  | | fr | honnêtement je me demande en quoi vraiment cela facilite la navigation, je comprend pour le controle de la selection du text, mais tout les autres options, je n'ai pas saisi ou compris en quoi elles consistes. j'ai déja une base en raccourcis avec les boutons... J,aime le concepte de selectionner un text avec la fleche et shift, mais esc avec la fleche est completement déroutant, f7 est semi utile, au moins si je m'écoeure j'ai pas besoin de chercher dans mees paramètres, mais tu sais, juste le standar alt tab est meilleur et p;lus efficace que certaines de vos options semi fonctionnel . |
| 2021-02-18 |  | | en | it only works for desktops because desktops have the f7 on the keyboard |
| 2021-01-30 |  | | en | In my environment (OS X 10.15.7, Chrome 88), enabling this extension causes the Command-Shift modifier-key combination to execute a select-all operation on the current page. That is not a documented feature. It is, presumably, a bug. And it is harmful, because that combination is used for making the next click on a link open the destination in a new tab. |
| 2021-01-21 |  | | en | bruh y it exist worst extension on earth |
| 2020-12-20 |  | | en | I still do not understand how to use it For me all keywords work on web pages no matter if I activate F7 or not Tab navigate through controls, Pg* scrolls, arrows work in checkboxes, shift arrows select What is the difference or maybe it is now implicit in Chrome ? |
