Extension summary
Premise
Stop clicking on things! Use Vim-style shortcuts to find and select inputs or links on webpages in Chrome.
Philosophy
Typist is half type-ahead-find, half Vim/Tmux emulator. It is my attempt to add the most useful and intuitive Vim bindings to Chrome, and to do so in a way that doesn't overlap or conflict with existing shortcuts.
Goals
- Bring the speed and comfort of Vim search to Chrome
- Fill out web forms without using a mouse
- Stop using Cmd+F to find fields buried on the page
Use
If you use Vim or Tmux, the keyboard shortcuts for Typist will feel familiar to you.
