## Description

Scrollkey is a Chrome extension that lets you navigate web pages just like in VIM editor, using the j and k keys to scroll vertically and horizontally. You can customize scroll amounts for normal keys as well as alternative shortcuts like shift+j/k and alt+j/k, ensuring compatibility with websites that already use j and k for other functions.

Additional features include customizable PageUp and PageDown scroll amounts and the ability to switch scrolling directions from vertical to horizontal per shortcut. Scrollkey enhances browsing efficiency and comfort, especially for users who prefer keyboard navigation. Note that due to technical constraints, Scrollkey doesn't function on certain browser and error pages.
