Kiseru

About

Kiseru is a keyboard-first Chrome extension built for fast, mouse-free web navigation. It highlights interactive elements on the page and provides intuitive key bindings for common browsing actions, making it ideal for developers, power users, and anyone who prefers efficient keyboard workflows.

Kiseru automatically detects clickable elements such as links, buttons, inputs, selects, and other interactive controls, then visually outlines them so you can immediately see what can be interacted with—even on complex or dynamic websites.

Designed to work reliably on modern single-page applications (SPAs) like GitHub, Kiseru reacts to page changes without requiring reloads.

How it works

Kiseru introduces a navigation mode that is activated using a single toggle key.
When navigation mode is active, Kiseru enables keyboard shortcuts for fast page interaction and navigation.
	•	Hold ; → Navigation mode
	•	Release ; → Normal browsing mode

This allows quick, temporary access to navigation controls without leaving your normal typing flow.
