So I built a Keyboard Navigator extension.
- Trigger: You just tap Left Shift to see the hints. It’s a quick toggle, so it doesn't interfere with your normal typing or site-specific hotkeys. - New Tab: Tapping Right Shift opens the link in a background tab. - Performance: I used an object pooling engine to keep it lag-free on huge pages. It also works with Shadow DOM and ARIA roles (where a lot of simpler navigators tend to break). - Minimalist: No background processes, no configuration, and no extra features that add bloat.
This is mainly a personal productivity project for myself, so no ads, free, and will be open source forever — I just wanted to share it as it has been working great for me.
