This extension is garbage. I was expecting it to remap my function keys for browser forward, refresh and back. But it did nothing.

Elijah Markin 2020-08-23

I just love it. Super customisable.

Not worked

Ronald H Doolittle Jr 2020-02-22

how do you use this extension? cant find any info on how to turn on or anything

Doug Brewer 2020-02-03

The most flexible keyboard shortcut for Chrome. It defaults to VIM like shortcuts, but you can customize. Unexpectedly powerful - if a bit nerdy. But you don't have to be a VIM enthusiast to figure out how to make this useful. Another unexpected feature is that every link on the page has a shortcut - just hit the space bar to see it. You don't even need a mouse once this is up an running! Great for news junkies.

Romain R 2019-08-12

Great, lot of features, easy to configure, thanks !

Chris Vydas 2019-06-07

Does not work at all, in addition, this is not at all what i was expecting. had the impression this would allow me to control/edit Chromes shortcut keys and create new one but this is nothing like that. i created some custom actions and nothing happened. uninstalled

want to adjust the size of the clock!!

Arther Taylor 2018-06-04

This extension was unecpectedly feature rich, it has the ability to type a word quickly and have that word you type literally act as a shortcut, i type "bm" and it adds a shortcut directly to my favourites, or i can type "copyurl" anywhere on chrome to copy the url to my clipboard, you can also assign several different keywords or shortcuts to the same action if you struggle to remember exactly what the spelling for the specified shortcut was like me hahaa, eventually you remember it and stick to one thing and can delete the others to save space and declutter your shortcuts settings. I'm surprised it works at all considering it's only got 25 reviews and a thousand users, but that sure to change if the word gets out. One thing i don't exactly understand is what these (hints / scrolling) features are? "this extensions isn't very innovative in its explanations, it seems like the creator is on a little but of a tight budget" but never the less, this is an unexpectedly powerful tool, however it's been day one so ill review soon with any cons i've found!

I prefer this than Shortkeys. I use this with Emacs like keybind. To enable key customization, you need tab reloading after configuration. 設定変更したあと,タブをリロードしないと変更あ有効にならないのに注意が必要. キーバインドではCtrlもAltもShiftも使えるようです。スクロールする長さもカスタマイズ可能。 自分はEmacs風キーバインドに設定して使ってます。 Gmailなどデフォルトのキー設定があるものについては、衝突を回避するために「このURLについては全キー設定を無効」な設定にするのがオススメ。

Doesn't turn on - simply does nothing

Anonymous 2018-02-15

love it. the scroll isnt working thought.

Ccgreen 2017-04-18

Could not get it to work. The "scroll down" (or whatever I was trying) - showed in bottom left, but nothing happened with any of the keyboard shortcuts. Clearly based on the prior reviews - I must be doing something wrong??

Matteo Valerio Falessi 2017-01-06

This is the most promising app to implement emacs keybindings in Chrome. Anyway it is of fundamental importance that it becomes Open Source.

Hen Engel 2016-10-24

Very powerful tool. Still needs some work, but huge potential...

Yusei36 2016-10-08

Better performence then Vimium

Jeir Lee 2016-08-23

Abdelrahman Sahmoud 2016-06-20

I have no idea how was I using my browser without this extension. Kunihiro Andou THANK YOU!

Shiqi Cao 2016-03-04

Amazing tool, now I can control my browser just using mouse. That's tool I was looking for years!

黒詩紅月 2016-01-21

機能していないです

Alex Ivasi 2015-11-06

This extension forced me to jump from Firefox to Google Chrome :) p.s. it is like Vimium on steroids - but looks much more powerful - please, keep it updated! 5 start! Excellent job.

Brian White 2014-10-25

Acer Chang 2014-07-29
