To add a little clarification -- one goal, probably the primary goal, of adding this to Chrome is to be able to navigate without using a mouse. For example, if I'm on a retail store's site (e.g. walmart.com or target.com), I know that somewhere on the page there will be a link for "store finder" or "store locator". On such sites, I search for "store", hit ctrl+g (next match) if necessary to find the right link, then hit enter to follow the link. This is faster than visually scanning the whole page for the text and using the mouse.

Going along with dharris' comment on mouseless internet navigation, Firefox includes a shortcut with the apostrophe button that allows the user to search only through the links on a given page. Something akin to this in Chrome would also be helpful, I think, though the focused find will be a nice first step.

Fixed in revision 2645. We now set the selection to the active match on the page and the focus to the first link in the matched range. This allows you to navigate after finding a link by closing the Find box and pressing Enter.

Could it that the link is selected/focused even before the search box is closed? Firefox does this. As the Enter key does not do anything while the focus is in the search box, it would be nice to be able to "click" on the link directly by typing Enter, without having to do Escape + Enter. |
