About

Google Maps' native keyboard shortcuts are broken — the +/- keys work intermittently and arrow key panning is painfully slow.

This extension replaces them with responsive, reliable controls:

── ZOOM ──
• +  /  =  /  I  →  zoom in
• -  /  _  /  O  →  zoom out

── PAN ──
• H / J / K / L  (vim-style)
• Tap for precise nudges, hold for fast smooth scrolling
• Supports diagonal movement by holding two keys at once

All shortcuts automatically disable when a text field is focused (search bar, etc).

A small personal tool — no tracking, no permissions, no nonsense.
