Smooth Scroll Extension

This extension allows you to scroll your webpage without moving your palm.

By default the Chrome browser only allows you to scroll the page by the arrow key, or page up/down key. Those keys are usually located at the edge of the keyboard. As a result you will have to move your hand around when you scroll.

This extension allows scrolling with the H, J, K, L keys, just as in vim, or with the A, W, S, D keys just like you do in a desktop game.

Anthony Cabrera (ID: 0000002b125cca36) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 Free and more basic version of Smooth Key Scroll https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/smooth-key-scroll/gphmhpfbknciemgfnfhjapilmcaecljh The console logs are annoying, but are just as easy to mute them when debugging other applications. I might use this in my web applications in the future!
