Open Source Ecosystems

This project is an excuse to play with YUI3 widgets and Chrome extensions. It implements a link searching feature for Chrome that I frequently use in Firefox.

You can install the extension by going here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chmpncamajgaikmmgmbmecnelhglfbhi

These are the commands: ' or cmd-' : initiate search mode (focuses the search field if already in search mode) esc : terminate search mode cmd-g : focus on a matched link; hit repeatedly to cycle forwards shift-cmd-g : focus on a matched link; hit repeatedly to cycle backwards

Workflow:

Hit the single quote to initiate search mode. The search field appears with focus. If you're visiting a site that steals your focus (e.g. yahoo.com or google.com) you can still initiate search mode using cmd-'
Begin typing the search query. All matching links will be highlighted if configured to do so.
Navigate through all the matched links by repeatedly hitting .
Hit when you're focused on the link you want to follow.

You can exit search mode by hitting at any point or by simply clicking on the close icon to the right of the search field.
