## Description

Saka Key is a powerful keyboard interface extension designed for Firefox to enable mouseless browsing. With Saka Key, users can map keyboard keys to a variety of browser tasks such as scrolling, clicking links, switching tabs, moving, closing, muting, refreshing, zooming, and navigating pages seamlessly. Its shortcuts are highly flexible and easy to customize, empowering both technical and non-technical users alike.

Key features include the ability to switch between multiple shortcut profiles—like left hand, right hand, default, or Vimium styles—and the option to import or export your personalized settings. Designed with clean, intuitive material aesthetics and sensible hint stylings, Saka Key offers a smooth and efficient browsing experience. Learn more or explore the source code at [key.saka.io](https://key.saka.io) and [GitHub](https://github.com/lusakasa/saka-key). Note: Due to Firefox restrictions, Saka Key cannot operate on privileged browser pages.
