When using this extension, abnormal behavior can be observed after clicking the 'News' tab in Google search. If you enter a search term and press Enter in the 'News,' 'Videos,' or 'Short Videos' tabs, the page scrolls down uncontrollably, as if the 'PageDown' key was pressed. However, this bug does not occur when the 'Automatically select the first search result (experimental)' option is disabled. This seems to be caused by the extension automatically focusing on the first search result upon searching. Even if this option is disabled, the same bug occurs when navigating the search results using the 'J' or 'Arrow Down' key.

The "Focus the search box when any key is pressed" is no longer working for some reason :/ OLD review: 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.

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.

I love it! Especially the "Add additional styling to the selected search result" option is just awesome! The only thing that would make it perfect is the scrolling behaviour. When I tab through the results and the next result is below the viewport, the next selected result sticks to the bottom of the viewport which makes it a bit hard to read the result. It would be awesome if you could always see the next result so it scrolls already when switching from the second last to the last result in the viewport

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

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

Perfect!! Works! в отличие от всех остальных.. Спасибо за саппорт решения! Ctrl+Enter в соседней вкладке. Осталось теперь найти как переключаться на эти новые открытые вкладки только клавой..

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.
