Plz update to support the ai mode update. to make the shortcut not overlapping with the All search.
i hate google for blocking all the nice extensions
Please update the Plugin, so that it´s available again🙏
This is one of the best extensions, absolutely necessary for productivity, either google search should implement this functionality by themselves or they should reinstate it
Please open source this so we can at least run locally if Google decides to shut it down
Pls make it work again
Great!
5/5. Even supports shortcuts using shift and ctrl.
Loved this extension but it seems like Google might have disabled it because "it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." I hope it get's reinstated because i'll need years to override my muscle memory muscle memory if not lol
Nice, a complementary to Vimium, requires remapping a few key bindings.
'i' hotkey for images not working
Why doesn't the `i` hotkey to switch to images not work?
Realy good extension, but with one issue, mine "i" hotkey to switch to images doesn't work, but everything else just fine :)
Amazing! Very customizable as well! Made my life much much easier!
Hey, love it. Can you please update the "i" command on Google? (images tab) Best
The feature that used to take you to Google Image when you pressed 'i' is currently not working.

Fantastic! How does Google leave this type of functionality up to 3rd party developers? It baffles me
Great extension which I used for a long time, unfortunately seem to have stopped working properly for the last few weeks where some shortcuts doesn't work anymore on the google search result page, even after trying to change them under settings.
J-walking still works. Something updated on Google and now other search engines like Google Images aren't accessible by using those search shortcuts (e.g. 'i' for Google Images).
Currently not working, specifically pressing "i" to go to images tab on google. Unin/reinstalled, checked/changed settings. Won't work.
Instead of z+char shortcut to filter the s+char would be better. (s -> sort)
life saver! Completely useful to use google without mouse
The navigation to the first search result works well!
One of the best things that ever happened to google search

I want to be able to disable some shortcuts that take up my other extensions.

For the keyboard dominate developer or just plain accessibility this is a MUST HAVE. You can easily google-fu without ever touching a mouse. Perfect for i3 or skhd/yabai!

Very good, but "focus on search input" does not work anymore for me, on Google search. I don't want to give less than 5 stars, but please fix this! :)
