A lightweight productivity tool that complements Chrome by adding shortcut keys it doesn’t provide, bringing vim-like keyboard navigation and quick category switching to your Google Search experience.

    - h/l or ←/→: Previous/next page
    - Enter: Open result (+ Ctrl/Cmd for new tab, Shift for new window)
  Switch Google Search Tabs
    a:  All
    i: Images
