BrowseCut | Use Keyboard for Fast Navigation via Smart Hotkeys & Shortcuts Extension

Intelligently detects and highlights clickable elements on page as you type or hold [SHIFT] key. BrowseCut is the new, fast way of using your Browser:

• 🔥 Designed for busy people to navigate and operate browser at the speed of keyboard typing.
• 🚀 Optimised for performance, speed of use, and usability to keep you in the state of flow and reduce cognitive load.
• 🛡️ Complete security and privacy: BrowseCut works locally and does not log or exchange any data outside your Browser.
• ❤️ Helps with RSI and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, by reducing the need to use mouse or touchpad.


FEATURES & HOW TO USE

Instead of using your touchpad or mouse 🖱️:

• Just start typing a link or a button you want to click. BrowseCut highlights all matching elements.
• Press Enter [↵] key to click highlighted element.

Alternatively:

• Hold [SHIFT] key to highlight 🔦 all clickable elements on page.
• Type the element mnemonic shortcut to focus and click it.

In addition:

• Use Escape [ESC] to exit focused Input or Form element.
• Use Arrow Keys [→][↓][←][↑] to scroll the page or largest scrollable element.
• If multiple elements highlighted, use Arrow [→][↓][←][↑], Tab [⇥] or Shift Tab [SHIFT][⇥] keys to switch between such.


BENEFITS

• 🎯 Minimalistic, fast, precise, and easy to use, BrowseCut is designed to keep you in the state of flow.
• 🧠 Reduces cognitive load and micro-decision fatigue by providing consistent behavior, using predictable mnemonic shortcuts, such as [SHIFT][S] to focus on Search inputs, [SHIFT][I] on the largest Input, [SHIFT][C] on Cancel buttons, [SHIFT][N] on New buttons, and more.
• ⏩ Improves default browser scrolling behavior by allowing you to fast-scroll the page or the largest scrollable element using Arrow Keys [→][↓][←][↑].
• ⚡ Engineered to reliably locate and highlight clickable elements at lightning speed, deals with tricky website markup and layouts.


TIPS & TRICKS

At first, BrowseCut takes a bit of time to get used to. Once you get the hang of it and build a bit of muscle memory, you will navigate the web faster than anyone. It is especially useful for people who do a lot of web browsing, or stick to a few websites daily, including developers, designers, writers, HR managers, teachers, students, sales, marketers, researchers, SEO experts, and more.

Pair BrowseCut with these default Browser shortcuts for maximum efficiency:

1. [Ctrl] + [T] to open a new Tab.
2. [Ctrl] + [W] to close the current Tab.
3. [Ctrl] + [SHIFT] + [T] to reopen the last closed Tab.
4. [Ctrl] + [SHIFT] + [A] to search Tabs.
5. [Ctrl] + [SHIFT] + [ or ] to switch between Tabs.
6. [Ctrl] + [R] to reload the page.
7. [Ctrl] + [L] to focus Address Bar.
8. [Ctrl] + [ or ] to go back or forward in history.

On Mac, use [Cmd ⌘] key instead of [Ctrl].


LIMITATIONS

Browsers prevent BrowseCut from running on Chrome Web Store, New Tab and Browser Settings pages, by design.

Some websites, including Google Docs and Google Sheets, are coded in a way it prevents elements from being detectable. If you encounter a specific website where BrowseCut does not work properly, please let us know by leaving a support ticket in the Chrome Web Store.


DESIGNED BY

Inspired by Raycast on Mac, ThePrimeagen's Harpoon, Vimium, the BrowseCut extension is designed and engineered at HARPA AI with ❤️‍🔥 for speed and productivity. Reach out to JD, [email protected] for suggestions or support requests.
