my normal search sequence is as follows

David (ID: 00000075bdbd43fb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/05/2016 Doesn't seem to work anymore. Installing and using google.ca or google.com/ncr doesn't allow j and k to be used to navigate (instead it jumps to the search bar). The k icon stays greyed out. I assume the last google javascript update broke this extension. Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit) on Linux

Aaron Howell (ID: 000000bf3815734b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/07/2013 Thank goodness. I have been wanting this for a long time. Just installed it and loving it. In your blog post you mention turning off Google Instant Search. I feel like that information should be added to the Details here. I wish Google would implement first-class keyboard shortcuts for Search like with their other services. Thanks.

(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/06/2012 If you've been griping ever since Google removed keyboard navigation for its search results, this is the extension for you.
