Chromemacs

Description

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.

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:

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

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