User reviews
Doesn't seem to work anymore. Installing and using google.ca or google.com/ncr doesn't allow j and k to be used to navigate (instead it jumps to the search bar).
The k icon stays greyed out.
I assume the last google javascript update broke this extension.
Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit) on Linux
Thank goodness. I have been wanting this for a long time. Just installed it and loving it.
In your blog post you mention turning off Google Instant Search. I feel like that information should be added to the Details here.
I wish Google would implement first-class keyboard shortcuts for Search like with their other services.
Thanks.
super useful!
