Link Finder

Download extension

Keyboard-driven navigation for hyperlinks on the page. Similar to the 'Quick find (links only)' behaviour from Firefox.Provides a way to navigate the web following named hyperlinks by just typing to find them in the page, then pressing enter to trigger them. This allows fast, mouse-free navigation on pages if you are familiar with them, and often ones that you are not.

Inspired by the "Quick find (links only)" feature in Firefox. Just hit apostrophe (configurable), type the text of a link that you wish to follow, and press enter, or escape to abort the process.

Features:
‣ Configurable key bindings
‣ Configurable timings for search and closing the finder

Changes in 0.3.5:
Mostly maintenance updates.
‣ Update to manifest version 2.
‣ Remove background.html (no longer required with latest manifest version).
‣ Load content script on document_start - which should make things more responsive on page load (i.e don't have to wait for page load to complete before using linkfinder).

Changes in 0.3.4:
‣ Sets content_security_policy. No functional changes.

Changes in 0.3.3:
‣ *Should* now work in Gmail (and maybe some other frame-using sites). Note that the web page will require a reload for this to take effect.

Changes in 0.3.2:
‣ Minor visibility improvements.

Changes in 0.3.1:
‣ Removed some debugging code.

Changes in 0.3.0:
‣ New option (disabled by default) that allows the finder window to be opened even if the focus is on an interactive page element (such as an input field).
‣ Minor cosmetic improvements.

Changes in 0.2.5:
‣ Fixed a bug that caused linkfinder to fail to work on many HTML docs, although this partially regresses the feature on non-HTML pages.

Changes in 0.2.4:
‣ The search dialog is hidden after 5 seconds (configurable).
‣ The search dialog is not created on non-HTML pages (so it will no longer appear on images).

Changes in 0.2.3:
‣ The search dialog is hidden when a link is triggered.
‣ Keybindings are now displayed with description rather than obscure key codes.
‣ The search delay is now configurable.
