User reviews
Users find the 'Search Box Focus' extension very useful and effective for quick keyboard navigation, enhancing workflow by reducing mouse dependency. It reliably focuses the search box and solves specific productivity problems. However, users desire more shortcut customization flexibility and the option to disable the extension on certain websites where it conflicts with existing shortcuts, like Google Sheets. Overall, the extension meets users' needs well, but has room for improvements in customization and site-specific control.
Pros
- Very helpful and useful for keyboard navigation.
- Works well and solves users' problems effectively.
- Allows users to focus the search box quickly.
- Does not require the mouse, improving efficiency.
- Highly appreciated as it does exactly what users look for.
Cons
- Lacks the ability to disable the extension on specific websites where it interferes (e.g., Google Sheets).
- Shortcut customization is limited due to Chrome's restrictions, particularly requiring Ctrl or Alt modifiers.
- Users want more flexible shortcut options beyond just Ctrl and Alt keys.

Amazing extension but I need more flexible on shortcuts options not only Ctrl and Alt. Thanks

Erno, 2024-01-09Pretty great extension. However, I wish I would be able to disable it for specific websites in which it doesn't work as intended. For example when I press tab in Google Sheets (the shortcut for jumping to next column) the cursor automatically jumps to the "rename" sheet tab, which disrupts my workflow completely.
