[Feature Request] Keyboard Navigation on New Tab page

Post by paul1149 »

One big way to improve the new tab page (which isn't bad but has room for improvement), is to make the mouse unnecessary. Currently, no matter how you access the new tab, you have to use a pointing device if you want to use its nav tiles. I would like to see the following:
  • The number keys 0-9 would immediately execute the first 9 tiles or bring the search field on the page into focus.
  • Pressing the Tab key would invoke spatial navigation. Then either the Tab key or the arrow keys would advance through the tiles, and the Enter key would execute them.
This way, the hands would never have to leave the KB. Considering how often the new tab page is used, that would be a good thing.
