An extremely customizable keyboard shortcuts interface that aims to rid you of the rodent :)

Image from store Keyboard-fu

Description from store This is an extension that lets you assign hotkeys to arbitrary actions, which are just javascript code snippets (Coffeescript coming soon). The extension provides an API (small but evolving) which includes functions for tab management, opening bookmarks, launching bookmarklets, page scrolling etc., and also jQuery is available along with the whole DOM of the page. So, you can assign a hotkey to a particular page (with url filters) that can use jQuery to say, change the font size, or click on a link, or submit a form.. almost anything you can do with javascript+jQuery. I built this because I couldn't find an extension that let me assign a simple damn javascript fragment to a hotkey, especially with jQuery :) This is in beta stage, as such it may break sometimes and until I can give a 1.0 version to it, I won't promise any stability. So please test it out and let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. However trivial it may be, I want to hear it :) (way to contact is in the options page). Oh, and you should follow me on twitter, http://twitter.com/sharat87, to get updates about this extension. Also, you may find the source for this project at https://bitbucket.org/sharat87/keyboard-fu distributed with MIT license. The source is also mirrored on github for git access at https://github.com/sharat87/keyboard-fu, although it usually lags behind. Note that I don't check the reviews here very often, so you may wish to notify me over twitter or email. Thanks.

Latest reviews

(2021-10-14) Avery Freeman: Great idea, but can't get keyboard capture to work. Maybe a recent chrome update broke its functionality.
(2020-11-29) Мой лучший друг: Не работает.
(2020-01-11) Erik Vesterlund: Doesn't work. Using all the pre-defined hotkeys, only gg appears to have an effect: a 'g' appears on the screen, but page doesn't go to top.
(2020-01-06) Bill Shroyer: Doesn't seem to do anything. If there's a way to activate it that isn't mentioned, I have no way of figuring out what it is. I'm able to reprogram the keys quite easily, at least they appear to be configured. But on the web page itself, they don't work. It simply types the letter instead of performing the action I programmed it for. Brave browser, version 1.1.23, based on Chromium: 79.0.3945.88 (Official Build) (64-bit).
(2019-06-05) DAVID GUALDRON: Greatly functional and limitless customization.
(2018-11-09) Just “nowhere” me: Works, unlike others. Not on this chrome store, try on other sites. Thanks
(2017-08-26) Nhan Huynh: useful
(2016-12-08) Len Kowalik: I guess it works as advertised, but I was looking for an app that would simply enter a string of text (eg. an email address) for a hotkey. Doesn't seem to exist?
(2016-08-29) Sergey Svekolnikov: Awesome, exactly, what I need. Hotkey for my javascript. Thank you.
(2016-02-05) KeeloMan: it sucks i dont know how to delet it im trying to play a game and its sending me to websites
(2015-12-12) Daniel Nastase: It's very useful. Question: can this be used/enhanced to allow inserting text in the Crosh window (for example) ? Like automating "shell<CR>sudo enter-chroot<CR>" ? Thanks!
(2015-06-20) Aditya Sriram: Brilliant extension. Programmer's Delight :)
(2013-08-31) Robert Morson: Does not do anything. Not even the default keyboard shortcuts actually trigger; or, if they do, I can't tell. Total waste of time.
(2013-08-25) Bryan “Ironman” Stark: Excellent extension. Use the preprogrammed keyboard shortcuts to do various things and can program to launch apps, or other extensions as well.
(2013-04-19) Valerio Coltrè: Awesome as linux user.
(2013-02-23) Onse Nguyen-Flai: Very easy and customizable. Does its job perfectly. I just miss an easy (or preconfigured) way to opening links without endless tabbing.
(2012-12-05) Simon Chung: Great extension, works fine. This is what I was wanting. Works like the SwiftTabs extension on Firefox. Would love to see a "Refresh" shortcut if possible
(2012-10-19) Henhen Abab: For some reason, I press the 1st key of the combo, but when I press the last key, nothing happens? :( also, do you think these scripts we create could have an option to be automatically executed once we load/refresh the page? so it is auto-executed only once. I am trying to make videos seek to the end (to stop using bandwidth) but only once. thx!
(2012-10-07) Kluge Hupner: Clean and elegant; nice work! Reminds me of unix-ish tools like VIM and WCD (wherever change directory). I second the reviewer (May 25,2011) who wanted the ability to use k-fu to remap standard chrome shortcuts.
(2011-12-25) th en: Does not work at all in Chromium under Slackware64 13.37
(2011-11-21) like this. is it safe to use without having my surfing habits, content transmitted over the web? one suggestion: allow for keys to work when you are on a generic new tab (no page loaded)
