Google search keyboard shortcuts (BETA)

Google have a very cool feature called “Keyboard shortcuts” which most people have never seen.

Instead of using the mouse to scroll and check the results, you can now use the keyboard to do it.

You don’t need to use the mouse anymore now! It’s perfect for those who uses a laptop and don’t have an external mouse.

The interface is the same as the original but there is a kind of arrow that points at the result you have selected, which will give you the possibility to open the result or just continue to the next.

Key	Action
J	Selects the next result.
K	Selects the previous result.
O	Opens the selected result.
<Enter>	Opens the selected result.
/	Puts the cursor in the search box.
<Esc>	Removes the cursor from the search box.

All you have to do is to add “&esrch=BetaShortcuts” in the end of the url of the search to enable this feature.

Please try it, it is very cool!
