About KeyJump: Keyboard-First New Tab
Keyboard-first new tab for single-key access to your most-used pages and searches.
KeyJump turns your new tab into a keyboard-first launcher. Give every bookmark, search and folder a single key, then jump without breaking flow β no mouse, no address-bar detours.
Why KeyJump:
- β‘ Single-key launch: press one key and you're there. Alt+key opens in a new tab.
- π Search shortcuts: "y" locks the bar into YouTube mode β type the term, hit Enter. Works for Google, GitHub, DeepL, or any site with a %s search URL.
- β¨οΈ Command syntax: type "gs capybara" and the g β s search runs with "capybara" β keys and term in one line. Tab locks an engine into the bar; recent searches appear underneath.
- π Folders: group shortcuts by context (work, personal, research). Folders have keys too, so anything nested is just a short key path away. Icons from a built-in library or any URL.
- π₯ Bookmark import: bring your browser bookmarks over in one click β pick the folders, and each becomes a KeyJump folder with keys assigned automatically. Offered on first run, always available in Settings.
- π€ AI as a search key: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity are one keystroke + your prompt away β they're built-in search templates like any other engine.
- π§ Two start views: a clean, spotlight-style search page or the full shortcut grid β flip anytime with "." . Search works the same in both.
- π§² Save from anywhere: Alt+Shift+K saves the page you're on. If it's a search results page, KeyJump offers the reusable search instead of a frozen bookmark.
- π₯ Overlay launcher: Alt+K opens the full launcher on top of any page β same shortcuts, same keys, without leaving the tab.
- π¨ Personalization: themes, custom accents, wallpapers (gallery, your own uploads, or a random one per tab), aurora and pattern background layers, tile size and layout, per-folder widths.
- π Safe cross-device sync: sign in (email, Google or GitHub) and your whole setup syncs as one document. Two-way and conflict-safe β nothing is ever silently overwritten. Works fully local without an account.
- π Fast by design: a warm new tab renders instantly and makes zero network requests.
How it works:
1. Install KeyJump and open a new tab β a short built-in tour shows you around.
2. Add shortcuts (+) and folders (#) with your preferred keys.
3. Press a key to jump. Or just type: matching shortcuts, folders and commands appear as you go, and Enter falls back to your default search engine.
Privacy and data:
- Local-first: everything lives in your browser. Sign-in and sync are optional.
- No host access at install: icon caching and bookmark import are optional permissions you grant in the moment β and can revoke anytime.
- New tabs make no network calls; site icons and wallpapers are cached on your device.
- The overlay appears only when you invoke it and does not read or modify page content.
- activeTab and scripting are used only on your explicit action (Alt+K / Alt+Shift+K / toolbar click) to show the overlay or read the page's URL and title for a new shortcut.
