Rated 3 out of 5
by Firefox user 13590256, 7 years agoSaka Key is okay, but I am rating it 3 out of 5 admittedly not on its own merit (which I hope developers may forgive me for) but because compared to VimFX, my preferred extension before Firefox 57 arrived, Saka Key lacks in certain areas:
1. The escape combination (to be able to transparently forward all keystrokes to the web page) has to be re-typed every time you switch focus back to the tab where you need to escape keystrokes again. This is very inconvenient, and combined with the next lack-of-feature on the list, makes for a truly irritating experience for pages where you need to disable Saka Key temporarily through escaping.
2. There is no way to blacklist certain URLs -- Saka Key is either enabled for your entire browser or not at all. Since keystroke escaping described above does not persist between even switching tabs, this really hurts.
Other than that, Saka Key does just what it says it does. But since it is a fresh start with Web Extensions API, I understand it's not there yet. It's not authors fault they have VimFX to compare to :) Best of luck, Saka Key!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16307135, 2 years agoFor a few weeks it causes google maps not to work. I have detected that, I imagine that it will not be the only site. When deactivating it, google maps works again. I uninstall it.

- Rated 5 out of 5by cloudrac3r, 4 years agoThis is really convenient and works far better than I expected from the screenshots. I'm using it for just the link navigation feature. It's very easy to ignore the other features, all I have to do is turn off their keybinds.

- Rated 5 out of 5by geochronology, 5 years agoThis is THE extension you want for better firefox browsing. Imagine gmail keyboard shortcuts but for the full glory of the open web.
