Search Navigator – Vim-Style Keyboard Navigation for Google Search

Search Navigator is an chrome extension that lets you browse Google Search without touching the mouse. It is Manifest V3 compatible and tiny (< 60 KB).

Usage:

- j/k (↓/↑): next/prev result

- h/l (←/→): prev/next page

- Enter: open (Ctrl/Cmd=new tab, Shift=new window)

- a/i/v/n/s: switch All/Images/Videos/News/Shopping

- m/y: jump to Maps/YouTube (with current query)

YouTube support is experimental—results navigation may be flaky.
