Firefox has a simple trick: press ' (single quote) and you can search through the links from a page by typing a string in the small box from the bottom of the window. So you could type the first characters from the anchor and when the link you want to open has focus, press enter. But what if the page has only links with this anchor "click here"? And what about buttons and image links?
Hit-a-Hint is an extension for Firefox that wants to solve this problem. The idea is that you press a magic key and, after that, each link from the page has a unique combination. All you have to do is press the keys attached to that link. Fortunately, the extension uses numbers, so in most cases, you'll type only one or two numeric keys.
After you restart your browser, you can use the extension this way: press space (space is the magic key) and then one of the unique numbers next your favorite link, while still pressing space. Then release the space key. To open the page in a new tab, press Ctrl before releasing space key.
If you don't like keeping space key pressed, you can just press h, type the numeric combination, and then press enter.
Cool! Thanks for posting this. :D
ReplyDeletein opera for ages you can browse with just the keyboard, without cluttering the interface and having to type number.
ReplyDeleteyou just go from link to link.
but best is to have keyboard on left hand and mouse on right, that way, browsing can be so fast even on slow computer
Sorry if someone doesnt like my post, but browse without mouse using Firefox is a pain in the...
ReplyDeleteOpera is much easier. All we have to do is press shift+arrow.
