You could also use the Vimium extension that already exists: http://vimium.github.com/
Great work! I made a similar extension a few months ago but only for Craigslist (https://github.com/yonran/craigslist-shortcuts), but it’s great that your one works on many different websites. I still prefer simply focusing the link instead of also adding a background-color, though.
Looks great!
An alternative interface for navigating links with your keyboard in Chrome is DeadMouse: http://chetan51.github.com/deadmouse/
With it, you can simply start typing out the text of any link you see on the page to go to it.
I'm using gleebox[1]. It has "ESP visions" - you define selector for elements on certain website whic are tab-able. You can also hit 'g' and write text of link/alt of image and that element would be highlighted. [1] http://thegleebox.com/
Indispensable comment about Opera having fully customizable page and browser keyboard navigation that works with every site built in since prehistorical ages (in Chrome timeline 8-). http://imgur.com/I2Vpk
When I try to make an entry for 'hackerne.ws' (using same selector as news.ycombinator) it saves but then resets the regex after I visit the site and it doesn't work. Any ideas? Otherwise, I'm a fan - will keep using.
Help me understand this ⌘ + return. This "⌘".....don't know it? explain more...cant be able to open a new in a new tab using that short cut
I especially like using this on FB. It allows me to efficiently go through every post without missing any. Much better than scrolling!
This worked for me in the main page of hacker news, but I could not get it to work for moving between comments.
All good, except I hate the pink. You should make the CSS customizable in Options.

Google results get a new dimension. Same for Reddit.
Err, is there any way to get to the comments in HN?
I use this to browse HN, it's great.
Sounds like Vimium, but with interactions for popular sites built in.
