Open links in Chrome via keyboard with DeadMouse




The DeadMouse extension for Chrome might be the final piece of the puzzle if you are trying to go all keyboard shortcuts all the time. You can perform all manner of task in Chrome with keyboard shortcuts (here are helpful lists for PCs and for Macs), but opening a link still requires a click of the ol' mouse.


If this screenshot was animated, you'd see the Get the Jellybean keyboard now link not crooked but wobbling.

If losing your mouse is something you aspire to, give DeadMouse a whirl. With it, you simply start typing the first few letters of a link you see on the page you are viewing and the link will begin to wobble. Hit Enter and you'll be taken to that page. Hit Shift + Enter and the link will open in a new tab. It's that simple.
