Gleebox: Keyboard Surfing In Firefox And Google Chrome

Gleebox is a Greasemonkey script for Firefox / Google Chrome extension which allows you to navigate through any webpage in Firefox / Google Chrome using your keyboard only.

Gleebox can be triggerd by pressing the "G" key (or Alt + G if you are focused on an input field) and it basically looks like a command line floating panel. After entering a command (see below), press TAB and Gleebox will cycle through the items you have selected with the given command.

Examples of using Gleebox:

-The default behavior is to cycle through all the links on a web page. Type "Google", then press TAB and it will only cycle to all the links containing the word "Google".

-Type "?h" and Gleebox will cycle through all the headings in a web page (usually post titles) - great for quickly reading the headlines.

-"?img" - Gleebox will jump from one image to another.

- "??": Navigate through all the input fields on the page.

Other useful thing Gleebox can do:

• !read
  Transform the page for a better reading experience using Readability
• !shorten
  Shorten the URL of the current page using bit.ly
• !tweet
  Redirect to twitter with the URL of the current page in the text field
• :fbshare $
  Share the current page on Facebook
• :wp cricket
  Search Wikipedia for cricket
• :tube elvis
  Search YouTube for elvis
• :site2pdf $
  Get a PDF for the current page.

There is, however, a downside to Gleebox: it does not work properly for sites that define their own shortcuts. For example: Gmail, Google Reader, Wave, etc. It also may not work properly in iframes.
