*** Important *** This extension is broken no longer being actively maintained/developed.

Before I got a TV with Netflix built in I was working on season/episode selection and a settings modal to toggle options on/off such as auto-skip, and mouse hide/auto full screen.

Since I was in the middle of it and don't have time to complete this the current commit I was working from is pretty broken.

I will clean up the source and post it on GitHub when I get some free time, but for now consider this extension dead and to be removed once I have cleaned up the source and put it up for anyone who wants to continue development.

A simple extension that adds arrow key navigation to the Netflix web user interface.

Mainly made for media center users who don't want to rely on their mouse for navigating through Netflix.

I couldn't find anything that added this feature to Netflix, which worked for me, so I made this.

User reviews

I've been looking for something like this for ages. Thank you. Very helpful for controlling the dodgy Netflix website from the sofa.

This is a great extension! Can you please make the arrow key events perform their action on the {key down} event instead of the {key up} ? It will be faster and work with my remote that only sends down events :)

This is great when paired with a media remote control for pc! It's baffling why Netflix doesn't have this support from the start. Pluto TV has great keyboard navigation and Youtube for TV does as well. Thank you for this! How hard was it to implement?
