__Spatial Navigation Chrome Extension__
|
|
|
|
Smart spatial navigation with key map to links.
|
|
|
|
This is based off the *Spatial Navigation* extension by Falsandtru:\
|
|
https://github.com/falsandtru/spatial-navigation
|
|
|
|
Binds WASD, F, E and Q keys for navigation/hints.
|
|
|
|
* `W/A/S/D`: Four-way spatial navigation
|
|
* `E/Shift+E`: Expand/Contract (change link targets)
|
|
* `Q`: Quit navigation/hints mode
|
|
* `Enter/F`: Click link
|
|
* `Shift+Enter/Shift+F`: Shift-click link (open new tab)
|
|
* `Ctrl+Enter/Ctrl+F`: Ctrl-click link (open new background tab)
|
|
* `Ctrl+Shift+X`: Disable the hotkeys (for current tab)
|
|
|
|
Set your own keys: Click the icon and choose Options, or visit the details page in the browser extension manager.

### Notes
|
|
|
|
This extension is far from feature complete, and some things just don't work as expected.
|
|
The inherited code is also a bit of a mess, and since I am no JS coder there's limits to what can be done.
|
|
As this started as a very personal extension for my use, some things are the way I want them and not easily changed.
|
|
|
|
Here are some of the more common issues/bugs/TODOs and some tips:
|
|
|
|
* Using `Ctrl+<link key>` in hints mode does not work. Using `Shift+<link key>` works for opening in a new tab though.
|
|
|
|
* The default Ctrl+click key interferes with the common shortcut `Ctrl+F` for Find.\
|
|
I suggest using something else for Find, like F3, or changing the key to for instance `G`.
|
|
|
|
* Even if keys are changed, there might be conflict issues with the link hints, see below.
|
|
|
|
* The extension uses a hard-coded list of link hint keys. These might interfere with common browser keys,especially if single-key shortcuts are used in the browser. If so these will need to be removed from the list.
|
|
|
|
* The list of available link hint keys are in `js/spatial-navigation.js`:\
|
|
`var keys = 'abcdfghijklmnoprstuvwxyz'`\
|
|
You can edit this string and reload the extension. You can also add keys you want to use instead, for instance the number keys (if not used for anything else).
|
|
|
|
* The CSS styles for links/hints/url display can if necessary be changed by editing the following values in `js/spatial-navigation.js`:\
|
|
`this.style.innerHTML`\
|
|
`marker.style.cssText`\
|
|
`display.style.cssText`
|
|
|
|
* There are no language options or internationalization.
