Suddenly, I can no longer navigate between results using Tab -> Arrow Up/Arrow Down. Was this removed as well? :-/

- pbhjpbhj 9y agoOh Lord - hijacking the arrow keys, which I use for page-scrolling, is one of the most annoying things ever. Kill it with fire!
- czardoz 9y agoGoogle's the only site where I prefer navigating with arrow keys, mostly because it's a list, as opposed to something like prose (where I want to take my own sweet time to read the page).
- manigandham 9y agoIt's a list of search results - why scroll when you can directly pick the result?
- MiddleEndian 9y agoIn Firefox I can hit / or ' to type the link I want and hit enter. When sites mess around with keyboard shortcuts it makes my browsing experience inconsistent and disorienting.
- manigandham 9y agoThat's a very slow and technical way but you can still do that if you want.
- MiddleEndian 9y agoI wouldn't describe it as slow. Rarely need type more than a few characters and I don't need to count.
- Ajedi32 9y agoThat feature has never worked with Instant Search disabled. I've had to go into search settings and re-enable Instant Search several times now just to get that feature back. Looks like it's gone for good now though.
- manigandham 9y agoThis is a definitely a step backwards... there's no reason to scroll when the entire point is to select a search result.
