SearchKeys not working with Google

Published 11-16-2006 1:48 PM | jokiz
For the past months. I have been dependent on SearchKeys extension to my Firefox 2.0.  It prevents me from using the mouse just to open a search result.  Just now, it stopped working, could be that google rolled out some changes which makes Searchkeys 0.8 incompatible.  Now i have to reach for that mouse...

yeah, i got it from boodhoo, do you know the shortcut to open the link in a new tab for HAH?

hehe a bit cumbersome activate hAH by pressing H, then type the link number, once it is highlighted press CTRL+TAB(same like CTRL+click when using mouse)

thanks, i agree it's cumbersome.  with searchkeys, search results has this number link on them which i can easily open in a new tab by holding the alt key then its associated number.  i've emailed the searchkeys author and it is already a known issue (since it is working in del.icio.us), just waiting for a patch
