The demo doesn't work very well for me, most of the alt combinations don't seem to do anything (alt+escape to activate works though, luckily). Might need to install the extension to try it out after all.

So far I like the precise scrolling with j/k, going up and down with G/g, jumping to a point of interest (link, image) with f, focusing input boxes with i, and yanking (copying) the focused link (or the page's url if nothing is focused) with y. The parts that work in the live demo, work really nicely.

Personally I have "search when typing" enabled in Firefox which enables navigation like this: https://preview.redd.it/jial7j6lbppz.gif?width=1024&format=m... It isn't as mouse-free as this extension aims to be, but it goes a long way already with no extensions and only a tiny learning curve (to learn some tricks like searching for the text next to a button or field and hitting (shift+)tab). For example, I typically upvote HN comments by typing part of the person's username, shift+tab+tab, enter. Looking for my own post is typically just typing the word "edit".

(Firefox 71, Linux)

Are you using a different keyboard layout than the US?

Because Krabby uses physical keys.

The option is like a search always on?
