Getting started

1. Visit the extension store for chromium based browsers or firefox.

2. Open the extension popup page.

3. Set your preferred activation shortcut (default: Ctrl+Space).

4. Pick 2 unique sets for the combinations to be displayed in each tabbable element on the page (ex: ABCDEF, 12345 -> A1, A2 ... AA1 ... 5F5).

   • The total combinations are equal to set1 x set2 x (set1 + set2 + 1) (ex above: 6 x 5 x 12 = 360). From experience while developing, a good amount of combinations is around 150-250. (default: A..Z, 0..9).

   • Make sure the sets are convieniently set for you to type. Note the sets are case insensitive and all characters are converted to uppercase.

5. You are done! Start navigating the web with your keyboard.
