Comment on Show HN: We built a Chrome extension to use J/K to navigate popular sites

Comments

Looks great!

An alternative interface for navigating links with your keyboard in Chrome is DeadMouse: http://chetan51.github.com/deadmouse/

With it, you can simply start typing out the text of any link you see on the page to go to it.

Just tried it out. This extension "highlights" the links in the most annoying way possible I've seen since the introduction of the blink tag :). Looks like it also could conflict with many sites if they use shortcuts. Are you using this extension on a regular basis?

That's pretty cool. How have you worked around issues such as breaking keyboard shortcuts for Gmail?

Why do you like this approach better than what vimium does? that was already to complicated for me.

Also: I love the way you demo the functionality on the site!
