Keyly Extension
Use the Tilde (`) key to toggle Keyly on and off.
This is a first release, so please let me know if you experience any problems or have any feature requests. I aim to add more configuration options, as well as an \"open in new tab\" shortcut, as soon as possible.
This app is based on the design of the Keyboard Navigation extension (available here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/keyboard-navigation/abcekjakjehkpheoaadhkjfcdodpjbgk). However, this does not seem to be updated any more, and it is unusable on popular sites like GMail and Google Search, where it interferes with typing. So I decided to write my own version from scratch, with the aim to make it as compatible and configurable as possible.
