Doesn't seem to work anymore. Installing and using google.ca or google.com/ncr doesn't allow j and k to be used to navigate (instead it jumps to the search bar). The k icon stays greyed out. I assume the last google javascript update broke this extension. Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit) on Linux

Thank goodness. I have been wanting this for a long time. Just installed it and loving it. In your blog post you mention turning off Google Instant Search. I feel like that information should be added to the Details here. I wish Google would implement first-class keyboard shortcuts for Search like with their other services. Thanks.

If you've been griping ever since Google removed keyboard navigation for its search results, this is the extension for you.
