Try the interactive simulation below. Keyboard key presses replace mouse clicks, making web browsing lightning-fast and effortless.
Navigate the web with lightning-fast keyboard shortcuts.
⚠️ PREVIEW. Requires Chrome Developer Mode (see installation steps below)
Because of how the web is set up, we make use of the few websites and apps we know and then only venture outside of them when searching for something specific.
By allowing you to surf the web rapidly inside your web browser, KeyPilot puts you on an interactive layer on top of the web and you can see it from above.
Interactive Keyboard Reference: This visualization shows how KeyPilot maps common browsing actions to your physical keyboard. The color-coded keys highlight different categories of actions: Green for activation and navigation, Blue for browser history and scrolling, and Red for tab management and deletions.
⚠️ PREVIEW. This extension requires Developer Mode (see Step 3 below)
KeyPilot is currently distributed as a developer extension. You'll need to enable Chrome's Developer Mode to install it. This is a standard process for testing extensions before they're published to the Chrome Web Store.
Click the "Get KeyPilot Now" button above to download the extension files.
Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/ in your address bar.
Important: Toggle "Developer mode" ON in the top right corner of the extensions page. This is required to load unpacked extensions.
Click "Load unpacked" and select the extracted KeyPilot extension directory. You're all set!
Experience the future of web navigation with these keyboard controls
Use simple key presses to interact with web elements. Move your cursor over any link, button, or interactive element and press a key to activate it.
See exactly what you're about to click with real-time visual indicators. No guessing – clear feedback shows your target before activation.
Automatically detects clickable elements, prioritizing links, buttons, and ARIA roles for seamless interaction across all websites.
Navigate websites at incredible speeds. No mouse movements, no clicking delays – just pure keyboard efficiency.
Open a centered, omnibox-like address bar on any page to jump anywhere instantly — with autocomplete from your History & Bookmarks, and Brave Search fallback when you type a non-URL.
Alt+L or LA clean, centered address bar appears in the viewport. Type immediately; press Esc to close.
As you type, KeyPilot suggests matching pages you've visited and saved. Use ↑/↓ to pick a suggestion.
Press Enter to navigate the current tab. If what you typed isn’t a URL, it searches on search.brave.com.
Grounded in proven human-computer interaction principles
"What happens if you can use a keyboard key to click links instead of a mouse button? It is so much better that you should try it yourself."
KeyPilot is built on Bimodal Control Theory (also called Dual-Input UI Theory), which separates navigation and activation into two distinct modalities. Your mouse handles precise cursor positioning, while keyboard keys manage discrete actions like clicking.
This approach reduces cognitive load, improves ergonomics, and creates smoother workflows. Just like in graphics applications where the 'F' key deposits points while navigation remains continuous, KeyPilot brings this efficiency to web browsing.
The result? Faster navigation, reduced fatigue, and a more ergonomic browsing experience that scales across all websites and applications.
