## FAQ

### Why have to set shortcuts manually?

Google allows only 4 key shortcuts. `Ctrl+B`, `Ctrl+E`, `Ctrl+Y`, `Ctrl+M` are enabled by default (These are possible because they are not used by Chrome.). You have to set others to be enabled by yourself at [chrome://extensions/shortcuts](chrome://extensions/shortcuts) .

### Is it possible to use original shortcuts?

                           

No. The shortcuts like `Ctrl+F` for search is disabled. 

### Supported Commands

* Ctrl+P (Up)

* Ctrl+N (Down)

* Ctrl+B (Left)

* Ctrl+D (Delete)

* Ctrl+H (Backspace)
