Saka Key: Mouseless Browsing for Firefox

Saka Key is a keyboard interface designed for Firefox to enable seamless mouseless browsing. With this add-on, you can map specific keyboard keys to a variety of browser tasks such as scrolling, clicking links, switching and navigating tabs, muting, and refreshing. It's highly customizable, allowing you to create and switch between different shortcut profiles tailored to your preferences (like left hand, right hand, or Vimium style).

Saka Key’s design focuses on configurability, ease of use, and aesthetics, making it accessible even for non-technical users. Enjoy a clean, intuitive interface featuring sensible hint styles, and import/export your settings with ease.
