Keep your hands on the keyboard while browsing the web. Type any text that occurs inside a link, and hit return to follow it. ⌘G jumps to the next link containing the text, and ⌘⇧G jumps to the previous. Hit ESC to cancel or exit a focused field.

Add key to find textfields #6

With Type-To-Navigate I hardly ever have to use my trackpad.

Unfortunately, most website aren't very keyboard friendly, so the tab key won't place you inside the search field or other textfields.

It would be awesome to be able to have a key (like /) which places me in the first textfield, and let's me jump to the others with ⌘G .

Thanks!

Generally, if the web page area has focus, Tab will take you to the first text field. Can you provide me with an example of a site that does not allow this?

Also, if the web page does NOT have focus, extensions can't trap any keystrokes.

I think this only happened in chrome, and I thought it happened in safari as well..

this option is enabled by default and that used to be the culprit: http://goo.gl/vH0lv
