HopSearch

Comma+Period to jump to the search box in a jiffy!

Twitter, Google Search and a few others have it, but, possibly, your favorite website doesn't allow you to use a key-combo to jump to the search field.

What is it? 😕

HopSearch is a Chrome browser extension that allows you to use the key-combo Comma+Period to jump to the search input box on any page. Ofcourse, the extension doesn't know-it-all and hence requires your help in discovering new pages, which, again, is just a click away.

How to use it? 🔧

Coming to the Chome Web Store soon ... !

As of now, head over to releases and pick up the latest you can find. Once done, hit Alt+H to fire up the extension (and maybe ... pin it?).

Features (as FAQs) 💎

How to make it work for this website?

• Open your favorite website
• AltH or click on the extension button in the Chrome toolbar
• Click on Find Search Box
• Click on the search input field on the website
• You should now see an alert stating that the config has been saved

Try Comma+Period and you should find the cursor at the search box.

It's officious, how do I stop it?

It could be meddlesome while typing with heavy shortcuts, I understand. Just Alt+H or click on the extension button zin the Chrome toolbar and then click on Pause.

Tell me a nice shortcut!

Pausing the extension on a certain page is as easy as it sounds. Just Alt+H to open the extension popup and tap spacebar to pause on this page. Repeat the same process to resume. 😄

Issues 😡

Alt+H does nothing

Is this website supported by the extension? If you Alt+H or click on the extension button in the Chrome toolbar, if under Search Box Finder you see the words "Not Found" then you need to make it work for this website as explained above.

If you don't see the words "Not Found", maybe a page refresh should fix it.

Extension always shows a Paused status

Maybe you just updated the extension at chrome://extensions so refreshing the page you're on should help.

Contributing 📝

As I said in the first section, this extension ain't a know-it-all and I require your help in extending it to websites I've not visited before. It helps other users who would visit the same website in the future.

Once you've made it work for an undiscovered page, in features, check out this short contributing guide.

Roadmap 🚙

• Background auto-sync for downloading new configuration to be added
