Extension summary

Keys lets users browse the web without reaching for a mouse or trackpad. It differs from other mouseless navigation extensions in that it attempts to render keys stylishly on the page to improve the user experience. Specifically, it generates floating gibberish sparingly and prefers to use text already on the page as a key.

  • Click away, scroll away, or press escape to deactivate
  • Customizable activation key
  • Funcitonal backspace

Instructions: G to generate & render shortcut keys. Type any key to click its associated element.

User reviews

Your extension is decent but needs more features! Can you add them? 1. Allow any type of shortcut like ctrl alt 1 or shift alt f 2. Add another shortcut for new tab hit-a-hint right now we only have current tab hah 3. Add custom character list instead of forcing A-Z
