Youtube – keyboard shortcut (that doesn’t involve arrow keys) for selecting a Google search result

google-searchkeyboard shortcutsyoutube

Using YouTube or Google search prompts us with multiple intelligent results that are only accessible with the mouse or the arrow keys. Is there a way or a hack to allow selection of results?

Using a Mac,
Ctrl+t makes it swap last two typed chars
Ctrl+o is similar to pressing return
Ctrl+a places the cursor in the beginning
Ctrl+e places the cursor in the end

There seems to be no way to select results other than arrow keys, which is a pain for any emacs/vi user.

Example: go to amazon.com, type "plays" on their search box, the search box proposes playstation 4, playstation network, playstation gift card etc…
There is no way to select those options other than the arrow keys.

Best Answer

You could use the Tab key. Pressing it repeatedly scrolls down the page, from the search bar and toolbars, down to focusable items on the current page.
