One issue i have is browsing the web, primarily forums such as this one, with hotkeys by themself. I hate using my Touchpad, and my laptop overheated before, so it is very spotty on the left half. It half way dont work.
I was wondering if any of you are able to select and open links with hotkeys alone. I can switch tabs, open/close tabs, scroll tabs etc. The problem is selecting a link. Using Tab is not viable because there are so many items. I can use Ctrl+f and type a word from the thread, it highlights the word in the thread name, then close the Find item, then press Enter and it will load the tab. But i am looking for a more user-friendly method. Preferably with using the arrow keys. Is there a third-party application that will enable me to do this?
Im kind of looking for a way similar to browsing on google.com. I can use arrow keys to navigate the search results, use Menu key, Enter to open, etc. Id like to do it this way on other sites as well.
Edit: After further research i found out, in FireFox (which i use), i can use the ' key to search by link only. I also discovered that Opera has Shift + Arrow keys to navigate by link in table (Ctrl for all links), which works excellent.
