No longer works on iPadOS 18

Neat tool, but in iPadOS 18 you can’t use it until you first tap on the webpage, making it pointless.

Response from developer

Thank you share your thought, but the problem was made by Safari safety limit, Safari need to make sure any actions is triggered by user. Here is an example, if you opened a website that auto play a video but without user click or touch the interface of the website, the video can’t play with sound.

Focus first input can't work on bing.com

Focus firt input `/` cant work on bing.com.
And stop website auto focus can't work on some websites such as oxford dictionary...

Very good!

This has almost all of the core stuff, and it's working very well. The thing I really miss coming from using Tridactyl on Firefox, is Ctrl-6 (or Ctrl-^) to switch to my previous tab. Cycling between two tabs that aren't next to one another is easy with this shortcut (and still easier than using Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab if they are next to one another).

I can easily see this developing to meet the ambition of being teh best keyboard extension for browsers.
