    love the ux but unfortunately only works on things like wiki, mdn docs, and its own startup page when you click extension... is there a known fix for this? it literally will not work on majority of sites at all. EDIT - I finally realised why it wasnt working. all pages i had open needed refreshing and to wait a while WORKING

    Thank you for the kind words and the detailed feature requests! Both have been implemented in the latest version (2.2.0, coming this week once passes Chrome Web Store review): 1. Bulk/multiple action mode Available via Shift + / (or Shift + F, depending on your trigger key setting). This enters a bulk shortcut mode where: - Clicking a shortcut opens the link in a background tab - you stay on the current page - Shortcuts stay visible so you can keep picking more links - Press Escape to exit bulk mode We went with Shift+trigger rather than a separate hotkey ("g") to keep the keybinding space minimal - it's a natural modifier on the existing trigger you already use, so there's nothing new to memorize. A dedicated key would also conflict with type-to-select (every letter key is used for typing). Note: this only works for links (elements with href). Non-link actions like buttons and inputs behave normally since "open in background tab" doesn't make sense for them. If your shortcut trigger is set to hold:shift, bulk mode isn't available (since Shift is already taken) - the hint is hidden automatically in that case. 2. Text selection/yank Rather than a clipboard yank, we implemented Alt+Enter (⌥+Enter on Mac) as a select-and-copy flow: - Type to highlight an element, then press Alt+Enter instead of Enter - The matched text is selected with the browser's native selection - You can extend the selection with Shift+arrows, or press Alt+Enter again to expand to the parent container - Cmd+C / Ctrl+C to copy We chose native selection over direct clipboard copy because: - It lets you see and adjust what you're copying before committing - Extending/shrinking the selection is natural (Shift+arrow keys) - No extra permissions needed (clipboard API requires explicit user permission grant) - Works with the browser's built-in copy - no surprises about what ends up on your clipboard This works with both type-to-select matches and shortcut-mode matches, so your existing workflow with F-trigger is fully supported. No settings toggle needed - it's always available as a modifier on Enter.

    Thank you for the feedback! 1. Yes, dialogs, alerts, pop-ups, model dialogs, dropdown menus are notoriously difficult to catch. Send us an email at [email protected] with a list of websites where it does not work and we will have a look. 2. The next release 2.0.0 will improve "Clicking", on some websites the clickable target is an element within the highlighted element, BrowseCut will now handle that. 3. The Cmd Shift [ and ] keys for Switching tabs is a default built-in browser shortcut, but on German keyboards this is likely something different, so you'd need to Google it probably. 4. Send us a website where Press and Hold is needed, we might be able to code that in.

    Very useful thanks. A few suggestions. 1) I only discovered that I could start typing and then choose the resultant number via another website. It does say this in the extension - ie "Just type a word to click then press 1..9") - but somehow that wasn't clear. Perhaps "Start typing any word you see on your screen and then press the number that appears" or similar. It does explain it also on the webstore front page but often you install an extension and rely more on the info in there ; 2) A sh...
