Reviews & Comments of Google Search Keyboard Shortcuts chrome extension

100 % invaluable! ?

Broken. Does not work (atm): Down arrow jumps to section below search results - currently related searches, and highlights it (first related search). It does not move to next search result. So you have to go back up again.

It's difficult to use google without this extension! Only problem is that it takes too long to register the hotkeys. I often press the down arrow to get the first result but it hasn't registered, so it scrolls the page down instead. Then when it does register it starts at the bottom of the page. A bit frustrating. Google Instant was quicker than that.

Clashes with ctrl+tab (tab cycler) of my browser (Vivaldi).

Broken on edge atm, but loved it when it was working :)

If it is not too much effort, would it be possible to port this extension to duckduckgo?

great extension but lacks only shortcuts to go to images, videos, all tabs in google search

Very handy extension, I really like using it. Only thing is that it sometimes skips some results and goes directly to related searches. Some other parts are also a bit buggy. Let me know if you want me to email you with my observations!

Is there a way to include the search query corrections google offers in the selected results' shortcuts? EDIT: Stopped working today all of a sudden. EDIT 2: Started working again :D

great tool! thanks.

Hey mate. It's me once again. The extension broke down once again. Probably due to google making certain changes to their website. It now only works partially only on some searches. Kindly fix this issue if possible. Once again, really grateful for this extension :)

Seems like a great feature but what are the keyboard shortcuts? It can scroll through images with the arrow keys but that's it.

As of Jan 13, Extension stopped working.

Power of keyboard with power of Google.

I try to do most of my work, just using the keyboard, this brings me a bit closer to actually achieving that! thanks for this awesome extension!

Potentially, due to a change on the Google's side, the extension stopped working.

I use it everywhere. Great extension!

Excellent. Can even modify original search query by simply typing on the search results page. Thank you!

Super underrated. Thanks for this; I install it on every computer I work with.

I love this extension, it makes everything so much easier. Thank you so much! I have one suggestion : if a shortcut can be added to switch to the "Images" tab of the results, then it'd be awesome.

I'm using it only 2 minutes but it's really great. TIP: You can add instructions with keys this extensions use. I know that I can find it in options but I am not sure that everyone know about that.

Google should just make this part of search

This would be perfect with an option to skip the "Translate this page" links (and maybe the indented "subpages" when searching for a big site too). I use those so rarely that I would rather switch to the mouse when I need them than navigate past them all the time. Edit: Translate links are now skipped. Developer listens to feedback, awesome!

This is absolutely brilliant! Can't believe Google hasn't implemented it

Super Useful extension. Thanks!

Something weird happens sometimes and i am not able to use control + tab on mac to shift through chrome tabs. I don't have any other extension that edits google search results.

This is very helpful to navigate through the search results! Thanks.

This extension would be perfect if they added one more function [Space] to open the search result and [Shift + Space] to open the search result in a new tab

Using it for ages. Just wanted to report a bug: the arrow left to the search results when going through them with the up and down arrow keys aren't showing up except for image results. Can you fix it? Chrome Version: 69.0.3497.100 Plugin just installed.

Simple and effective. Only thing is that I would love to be able to customize shortcuts—I'd like to set 'o' to open, for example.

While getting new to mouse-less pc control , the extension worked good for me so far.

Great extension. Simple, but very effective. Just for your information, the "add additional styling option" doesn't show up for the initially selected first result.

Just tried it out Loved it !!! Good Work mate !!!

This just became unusable as the extension highlights the second "o" in Goooooogle. This results in Chrome always scrolling down to the bottom of the Google search page.

great tool .. working as expected

Sorry to give a 1 star since I used to love it (5 stars) but now upon hitting tab (or down arrow) it selects the 2nd page of results (the 2nd "o" in Goooooogle at the bottom of the page). Please fix it and I'll donate :)

Thanks man, this extension saves a whole lot of time. Though I suggest adding left and right arrow to change the search page.

Works well but recently it only scrolls through Images and the page numbers at the bottom of a Google search. I noticed this happening since July 20th, 2018

This is amazing! Thanks so much for making this, Jacob! I hate google so much some times! I really need to learn to make chrome extensions.

It does not work anymore. Just goes straight to page numbers at bottom of page.

for me it only moves on the page numbers at the button of the search page. so annoying!

Thanks for re-implementing what Google took out for no reason!

Thank you for bringing this back!!!

Awesome. Stupid google.

I never understood why Google removed the up/down navigation. This implementation is great. Thank you!!

I love this. I love all the shortcuts Google has in their other products, but which are missing from search for some reason. This extension finally gives a largely uniform experience set of controls across all of Google's products. Thanks for putting this together. Please keep up the good work.

Pretty useful

yes yes yes yes yes!!! Now I can google search vim style!!! Thank you :)

Unbelievable. I had gone over a year without tab + up/down arrows. Words simply can't describe the joy of gaining these shortcuts back again.

I love it !

Takes half a second to work after loading pages, but then functions flawlessly. Going down to the last choice automatically selects the next page.

Most helpful addin I've ever found for chrome

Perfect. I raged when Google removed this behaviour. I really thank you.

My favorite extension on chrome. Can anyone tell why it does not take any memory?

Thank you for making this extension! It makes searching so much easier!

One of the first things I install on any computer. I simply can't live without it. Thank you Jacob!

FINALLY! I wanted the up and down arrows so much

finally, TAB is back!! Thank you!!!!!

My hero! I missed this so much, and it fills my heart with joy to be able to tab to the first result in a google search.

Really missed this feature when chrome took it out. This extension is awesome.

Oh, that's feels so good! Since google removed instant search, I'm suffering with a search. And you just save my live, thank you so much.

Amazing, just like before, I was going crazy

I consider this extension a must-have for my web search workflow.

Simple way to restore this functionality. Unlike most others, works on encrypted.google.com. Recommend digging into the options to turn off the arrow and turn on that additional styling. jk navigation can be enabled in options. Better than jk-navigator (and many others) because using / to jump to the search box works! I like the styling on this more than the next best I've found: Google Search Navigator by gsearch.navigator (which offers more customization).

It was really frustrating to browse google search by mouse after getting used to keyboard shortcuts. Thanks for bringing it back! :) Do you have any plans to make it open source anytime soon?

Not being able to do this was driving me crazy!

Great to see this, thanks for not making me spend several hours writing this ext. Shame on Google, they're getting rid of all the good things!

Good to See this functionality again!!! Very Helpfull.

Great job, I was lost without this. Shame on Google for removing this functionallity!!

Finally! It works *almost* like Google's used to. Personally I like "additional styling" better than "prepended arrow". However, it lacks a thing that Google had. I can't go into "cached" or "similar" function anymore. In Google's version when you had a result active you could press TAB and then arrows up/down to go into cached/similar options. Also, Google's prepended arrow was better: smaller and it wasn't moving text. It was more on the left side.

saved me a bunch of mousing about. thanks!

A life saver! Thank you!!

Awesome

Amazing extension, thank god for this given that Google's getting rid of Instant Search Only thing I would add is that if you hold tab down on a search result page, the selector used to go all the way to the next page arrow - would be great if this could be added back

Great job, thank you so much for bringing back this functionality!

Thank you. This is my first rating on the web store, and I really want to say my thanks. I hope you can continue maintain this extension, as Google continues to bring new browsers that continue to break existing features. If I could ask for a feature, it would be awesome if the focussed tab is highlighted little more, to make it easier to see which search result is focussed. Thanks heaps!

Thanks guy The happiness came back Just shortcuts to navigate in Google Search \o/

Thanks for the extension. Removing Instant was such a BS move on Google's part. Is it possible to have the little arrow that indicate the selected search result as well?

Awesome! Simple working fix for recent Google Search change disabling keyboard navigation.

Works perfect. Thanks so much for creating this extension. Without it, it was very annoying to always use the mouse the get the focus on the search field again. I hope that every satisfied user donates some bucks. I did.

Thank you so much. What a disgrace that Google removed it.
