Chromemacs Extension

Chromemacs is the chrome extension provides keyboard shortcuts for navigation and control in the spirit of Emacs. The source code is originally forked from Vimium. Pull-Requests are welcome and appreciated.

*NOTE* Google does not allow Chromemacs to run on this Chrome Web Store page and the Chrome New Tab page, by design. Sorry about that!

*NOTE* Chrome has some alarmist messaging around the permissions that Chromemacs needs to run. Really all it's asking for is that Chromemacs's javascript be loaded into every page. Don't be alarmed. Chromemacs never talks to any servers and does absolutely nothing with your data. Read the open source code if you're curious.

For more information about rebinding your keys and how to use many of Chromemacs's features, see here: https://github.com/maeda-kazuya/chromemacs/blob/master/README.md

Modifier keys are specified as , , for ctrl+x, meta+x, and alt+x respectively.

Navigating the current page:

show the help dialog for a list of all available keys
scroll left
scroll down
scroll up
scroll right
scroll to top of the page
scroll to bottom of the page
scroll down half a page
scroll up half a page
open a link in the current tab
open a link in a new tab
reload
view source
copy the current url to the clipboard
copy a link url to the clipboard
o cycle forward to the next frame

Navigating to new pages:

Open URL, bookmark, or history entry
Open URL, bookmark, history entry in a new tab
Open bookmark
Open bookmark in a new tab

Using find:

enter find mode
-- type your search query and hit enter to search, or Esc to cancel
n cycle forward to the next find match
N cycle backward to the previous find match

For advanced usage, see [regular expressions](https://github.com/philc/vimium/wiki/Find-Mode) on the wiki.

Navigating your history:

go back in history
go forward in history

Manipulating tabs:

go one tab left
go one tab right
go to the first tab
go to the last tab
create tab
4 duplicate current tab
0 close current tab

b search through your open tabs
5 move current tab to new window

Using marks:

ma, mA set local mark \"a\" (global mark \"A\")
`a, `A jump to local mark \"a\" (global mark \"A\")
`` jump back to the position before the previous jump
-- that is, before the previous gg, G, n, N, / or `a

Additional advanced browsing commands:

,
Follow the link labeled 'next' or '>' ('previous' or '<')
- helpful for browsing paginated sites
open multiple links in a new tab
focus the first (or n-th) text input box on the page
< go up one level in the URL hierarchy
/ go up to root of the URL hierarchy
< scroll all the way left
> scroll all the way right

Chromemacs supports command repetition so, for example, hitting '5t' will open 5 tabs in rapid succession. ESC (or ) will clear any partial commands in the queue and will also exit insert and find modes.
