Evren Özkan (ID: 0000004e5f5aaf8f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 06/07/2013 It's working but a bit limited. Some dom elements not accessable. But most frustrating problem is it's interfering with text inputs. You can't select characters or words (ctrl+shift+arrows). This bug making it unusable for me. I'm still waiting for Webkit/Blink Opera ;)

Javad (ID: 000000c597843909) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2012 I wish there was something like this for Firefox. This extension is the only reason that I shift to Chrome sometimes. If there was a hot-key for enable/disable this it would became perfect because it gets in the way of selecting text by keyboard (shift+arrow) sometimes.
