Thanks for the report! This a great idea, and something I will certainly implement.
There are two notes I would like to make in addition:
You bring up a good point about the shortcuts. I have been struggling with them: they're likely to completely overwhelm users looking for specific shortcuts, because you have to scroll past a huge list of them organised in no clear way!
Additionally, we are limited to an arbitrary number of keywords that I decided to hard code. There is no way around this using the extension shortcut system.
Possible solution:
Shift+click for previous match now implemented, along with a critical highlighting fix and reduction in cases where keypresses (in inputs) are also detected by the page. Second 2 points remain to be considered.
Shipping with 1.13.7, hopefully very soon (pending review on the Chrome Web Store).
Edit: now published for Firefox and Chrome
This is more of a suggestion.
It might be interesting to be able to go to the previous match of that word when clicking it while holding the Shift key, giving a similar experience to what users have in other places (default search bar included with Shift+Enter going back).
The use-case is finding matches for a specific word, but not considering the other words.
There are shortcuts to that already, but I feel that doing this through the interface would be "more natural", not requiring that users set up multiple shortcuts that will rarely be used.
