### 5/5 — Absolutely Brilliant!  Should be on every computer.

*2020-11-20, version 4.3*

I absolutely love this!  Should come standard with every browser.  

Would be nice to have something similar to navigate a computer's operating system.

### 5/5 — Convenient, polished and responsive

*2020-11-14, version 4.3*

I was looking for something like Saka Key (Firefox add-on) for Safari and this is great. It's even more poilshed and quicker, I find. Love that the keys are often the first letters of the link itself.

Would love to see functionality added for scrolling and going back.

### 5/5 — nice app

*2020-08-08, version 3.4*

Good functional app. But is it possible to use back botton to go previous page in safari?

### 5/5 — Like a caveman seeing Fire for the first time!

*2020-07-19, version 3.4*

Just switched from the memory hogging Chrome to Safari and found KEYS... It's like a caveman seeing fire the first time!  I've long been a key-stoke saving hoarder... because typical week has me bouncing between sites to write 7,000-10,000  web-words a week.  Truly, one of the most elegantly simple and powerful apps I've seen.  It just made my very short list of "You coud never pry it from cold dead hands list of apps."

### 5/5 — LOVE THE APP!!

*2020-07-03, version 3.4*

This is a unique application like nothing I've ever seen. I love this app!! It makes navigating webpage is extremely quick and easy. The only negative complaint I have is that there is nothing like this for Chrome Internet Browser. But honestly that's not really a complaint. A   APP!!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for Shortcut Lovers

*2020-03-27*

If you hate having to use trackpad/mouse after searching something in safari or literally anything then it's amazeballs.

It works with Google searchs which is what I was looking for but it also works with other sites as well so now I kinda want it on Chrome as well :P

If I had to add one thing it would be ability to also scroll down using keys to see more content that you can trigger by keyboard. Like in Google search you can also scroll down and open any of the page in search. 

❤️

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind review! I’m currently considering adding an option to use IJKL for scrolling but it’s not in the works.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-02-09, version 3*

Finally, someone made someting like GleeBox again. 

This app helps my RSI by allowing me to use the mouse less.

### 5/5 — does the job

*2020-01-28, version 2.4*

It does the job !

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-01-25, version 2.3*

Works flawlessly. Simple and convenient for any poweruser.

One funciton missing and one feature missing; abbility to customize hotkey to generate shortcuts, and ability to either open in current window or open in seperate window (ie key jump keyboard navigation on chrome allows for , to generate shortcuts and . to generate shortcuts that would open in seperate window).

Thanks.

### 5/5 — Finally

*2020-01-19, version 1.1.2*

Happy that this functionality can now be had in Safari. 

It's sad that the change of extension policies has killed off most development for this browser. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Glitches

*2023-03-11, version 5.1*

Choosing the G key is a mistake. Glitches out on websites such as chase.com

### 2/5 — Amazing App but doesn't work with the latest Safari

*2022-07-20, version 5.0*

Unfortunatelly the extension doesn't work on some websites (e.g. Google) in the latest Safari. 

The "G" key activates the links but then all key inputs get ignored and nothing's happening 😔

Hopefully this will be fixed and I can re-write my review 🤞🏻

### 3/5 — I have used it.ago

*2024-07-18*

Need to improve more.

### 3/5 — can't change settings

*2020-11-24, version 4.3*

no idea how to change any setting once installed. Also have no idea how to use CMD G as that is used for Find/Next.

### 3/5 — Great concept, but too slow for me

*2020-11-03, version 4.2*

I'm using a 2015 Macbook Pro, so maybe my computer's just too old for this? Unfortunately, there's a long delay between pressing G and seeing the shortcut keys. On top of that, there's also a delay in seeing the letters turn green while I'm typing.

### 4/5 — Good but limited

*2020-12-15, version 4.3*

Really needs the ability to open links in the background, which is a basic feature that other free solutions provide and more (won't mention their names here since this extension supports a good cause and excels in other ways).

### 5/5 — This is great, but…

*2025-02-17, version 5.1*

This is great, but I found “Shortcat” app today which does the same for the all apps.

### 5/5 — Good for you!

*2024-07-24*

Good thinking!

### 5/5 — wow.excitelinet

*2024-07-18*

Better than I thought.

### 5/5 — I have learned a lot.

*2024-07-18*

It's really interesting.

### 5/5 — Perfect for navigating around Safari with a keyboard

*2024-07-03, version 1.1*

Takes a bit to understand at first, but once you get it, it’s really nice. Basically it either highlights portions of text in the page in red that you can type to “click” that part of the page, or it generates a text key like “FF” that you can type in order to click the element. Very handy, highly recommended.

### 5/5 — O melhor!!!

*2022-12-11, version 5.1*

Para navegar pela web com o safari utilizando o teclado, este é o melhor.

### 5/5 — Best Safari extension ever

*2022-06-25, version 1.1*

Literally the greatest gift that this is available on the iPad now as well. Never lift your finger to navigate a website. It‘s magical. Thank you for this!

### 5/5 — It’s great!

*2021-10-15, version 1.0*

Pretty simple and almost perfect to me, the only thing I miss is a shortcut to open a link on a new tab, maybe by pressing Shift+G instead of just G? 

Edit: I found it in the Settings, it’s just Cmd+G =)

### 5/5 — Very Convenient

*2021-10-15, version 1.0*

Saw on r/Ipad. Saves a lot of time by binding items to key strokes. Allows for remapping as well

### 5/5 — Great for accessibility

*2021-07-08*

This extension makes navigating sites with the keyboard so much easier. Tabbing through links is slow, tedius and error-prone, this is much better and faster. Not having to hit enter is a nice touch too, one less keystroke. 

I think an accessibility feature like this should be built-in to Safari but it's great to have this extension to fill the gap.

**Developer response:** I freaking love reviews like this. Thank you so much. Exactly the problem I wanted to address!
