I developed a Chrome Extension that provides keyboard shortcuts for Google Search since Google lacks good shortcuts (you have to press the tab key first before being able to select search results).

Great, thanks Thomas!
Mind that it only works on google.COM (not google.ch, .de, .es, .fr, .nl, .se ...)
If you want that, you have to add them/it in the manifest.json file (this file you download is actually a zip - unzip it and inside you have this manifest.json
You'll see this somewhere inside:
"matches": [
"http://*.google.com/search?*",
"https://*.google.com/search?*"
]
Add yours, so that it looks like this:
"matches": [
"http://*.google.com/search?*",
"https://*.google.com/search?*",
"http://*.google.ch/search?*",
"https://*.google.ch/search?*"
]
Be careful with commas :)
Cheers!
It works for me. Its perfect! Thanks for the work.
