WebMotion Extension

WebMotion lets you navigate the web by using your keyboard. It highlights one letter inside every link and allows you to follow a link by pressing its highlighted letter on your keyboard. Pressing a key twice opens up a link in a new tab.

You can use the letters H, J, K and L to easily navigate inside websites and across tabs. H and L switch between tabs, and J and K scroll inside a website. SHIFT + J or K scroll extra fast.

(the arrow keys work for this as well, but you must press SHIFT to use them)

Some more shortcuts:

B = Go back
X = Close tab
ALT key = Show alternate set of links in case there were not enough letters to cover all links

You can turn WebMotion on / off or disable it for certain websites by clicking the WebMotion icon in your browser. You can still use the WebMotion shortcuts (H, J, K, L, B and X) on disabled sites by holding down the CTRL and ALT keys.
