Extension summary

CrossFire Plus allows navigating using the keyboard, to move through links to the left, right, up or down.

Quick start (with the default settings after installation. Remember that extensions don't work on special pages or the web store):

Press the numpad arrows to navigate: 4 for left, 6 for right, 8 for up, 2 for down. Press 5 to open a link in a new tab, or Enter to open it in this one. Press 0 to go back. Press . (del) to close the tab. Press - (minus) to open a new tab (or + for an alternate homepage, which you specify in the options). Press 7 and 9 to move left and right through the tabs.

When a form field is selected, these are disabled to allow you to enter data. Normally, navigating will miss out form fields. You can however use numpad "/" to enter or leave them - press this (the highlight will turn red) and then a navigation key.

Check the options page for alternative key bindings that you can use, as well as information on other keys.

Navigation stucks on tabs with errors, pressing "del" inside textarea closes tab, switching to form navigation does not work, can't set custom keys. Stay away.

This is awesome. Much better than CrossFire and event better than Opera's original spatial navigation feature. Congrats!
