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? | |

How do I right-click text, links, images, etc that is selected in caret mode, or just right click at the caret position? Is it even possible? | |

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.... | |

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 . | |

it only works for desktops because desktops have the f7 on the keyboard |
