Its a great extension, and i find real potential in this! I use the "Black Menu for Google" extension too, but I find one thing missing in this one, that you do find in the black menu for google, that is, there is an option to assign keyboard shortcuts for navigation through the different tabs provided in the extension pop-out menu (moving between sections like 'Wikipedia, Wikitionary, Wikiquotes, etc).The shortcuts could be assigned from the chrome extension shortcuts menu for black menu for google, i dont find the same for this one, other than the general shortcut to activate the extension... For people who use their keyboards a lot for navigation, that would be really helpful, so dear dev, if youre reading this, first, thanks for these great extensions :), second, please add the option to assigh more keyboard shortcuts, like the one i mentioned above.. Thanks for your time!

I love this extension, but I can't download the Google version of Black Menu, it keeps telling me, " Package is invalid. Details: 'Name of a key "cj_i18n_#####" is invalid. Only ASCII [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9] and "_" are allowed.'. "
